In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe events or occurrences that took place during the night preceding the present day. The term is not commonly used in modern English but appears in older translations of the Bible.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br>The word "yesternight" appears in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, but in the Berean Standard Bible , the equivalent phrase is often rendered as "last night" or similar expressions. One notable instance of this term is found in the account of Laban and Jacob in the Book of Genesis.<br><br><b><a href="/genesis/31-29.htm">Genesis 31:29</a> :</b><br>"It is in my power to do you harm, but last night the God of your father said to me, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’"<br><br>In this passage, Laban recounts a divine encounter that occurred "last night," where God warned him in a dream not to harm Jacob. This event underscores the protective nature of God's intervention on behalf of His chosen people. The use of "yesternight" in older translations highlights the immediacy and relevance of divine messages received during the night.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br>The concept of God communicating through dreams and visions during the night is a recurring theme in the Bible. The use of "yesternight" in these contexts emphasizes the immediacy of divine revelation and the importance of heeding God's warnings and guidance. Throughout Scripture, nighttime encounters with God often serve as pivotal moments that alter the course of events, demonstrating God's sovereignty and intimate involvement in the lives of His people.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b><br>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, dreams were often regarded as significant and sometimes divine in origin. The biblical narrative reflects this understanding, with God frequently using dreams to convey His will and purpose. The term "yesternight" captures the cultural perception of the night as a time when divine messages could be received, and it serves as a reminder of the historical context in which these biblical events took place.<br><br><b>Related Concepts:</b><br>· <b>Dreams and Visions:</b> Throughout the Bible, God uses dreams and visions to communicate with His people, providing guidance, warnings, and revelations. Notable figures such as Joseph, Daniel, and the Apostle Paul experienced divine messages through dreams.<br>· <b>Divine Intervention:</b> The account of Laban's dream is one of many instances where God intervenes in human affairs to protect and guide His chosen individuals, demonstrating His providence and care.<br>· <b>Nighttime in Scripture:</b> The night is often depicted as a time of reflection, revelation, and divine encounter. It is during the night that many biblical figures receive important messages from God, highlighting the sacredness of this time.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br>The term "yesternight," though archaic, serves as a linguistic window into the biblical world, where nighttime was a significant period for divine communication. The use of this term in Scripture underscores the immediacy and impact of God's messages, reminding believers of His active presence and guidance in their lives.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
