Glossary (Terms from your list that occur in cited Scripture)

Only terms that both appear in the Scriptures cited below and exist in your glossary are included.

A) Vocabulary & Cadence

• יֹום — yōm (Yawam/Yamim): “day / days,” often the daylight block; cf. Gen 1; Ps 104; John 11:9.
• שַׁבָּת — šabbāt (Shabath): Sabbath/rest; cessation from melākhah (work).
• מּוֹעֵד — moʿed (Muayd/Muaydim): appointed time/meeting; Lev 23; Gen 1:14.

B) Passages Appealed to for a Daylight‑Bounded Shabbat

• Genesis 1 — Creative works occur in the light; refrain “evening and morning” marks completion; some infer holy rest mirrors the light‑work window (first light → last light).
• Exodus 16:23–24 — “Tomorrow is Shabbaton; bake/boil now… lay it up to be kept until the morning.” Repeated “until morning” suggests the Sabbath **day** begins with light.
• John 11:9 — “Are there not twelve hours in the day?” framing day as the operative work unit (yōm (Yawam)).
• Nehemiah 13:15–22 — Gates shut “as it grew dark before the Sabbath”; some read this as protecting a daylight‑bounded rest (see counter‑readings below).

C) Passages Appealed to for Evening‑to‑Evening or Night‑Start

• Leviticus 23:32 — For the Day of Atonement: “from evening to evening you shall keep your Sabbath.” Many generalize this pattern; others restrict it to Yom Kippur.
• Nehemiah 13:19 — Often read to imply Sabbath begins at night; hence shut gates prior to nightfall.
• Mark 1:32 — “At evening, when the sun had set, they brought the sick…” — commonly taken to indicate they waited until Sabbath ended at sunset.

D) Synthesis

The Bible presents daylight motifs (work in the day; “until morning”) alongside explicit evening‑to‑evening instruction for Yom Kippur and narratives commonly read as night‑start. A first‑light → last‑light Shabbat thus rests on lexical/narrative inferences rather than a single explicit statutory phrase.
