23. 在圣经中, “日” 被用来指时期, 这是十分普遍的, 例如: “耶和华的日子临近了……看哪, 耶和华的日子临到……当他发怒的日子, 天必震动, 地必摇撼, 离其本位……其时候将到了, 其日期必不久延.” (以赛亚书 13:6, 9, 13, 22) 又如: “她的起源溯自古日……到那时, 推罗必被忘记七十年, 照着一王的年日.” (以赛亚书 23:7, 15)

“日” 既用来表时期, 故也被用来表该时期的状态, 例如: “哀哉! 日已渐斜, 晚影拖长了.” (耶利米书 6:4) 又如: “你们若能废弃我所立白日黑夜的约, 使白日黑夜不按时轮转……” (耶利米书 33:20, 25) 再如: “求你复新我们的日子, 像古时一样.” (耶利米哀歌 5:21)
