What does God mean by "days" in Genesis 1,2,3?
Like the earth was created in 6 days. Does it actually mean the 24 hour day clock or does it stand for something else? What does day mean in biblical hebrew?
In Hebrew the word for day is "yowm ". It means 24 hour period. Genesis is written in the third person. It was not written at the same time God speaks in Genesis from the first person perspective. One cannot claim that just because there were six days of creation all of a sudden this means earth is 6,000 years old. That is a illogical way to think.
