26. Verse 8 And there was evening, and there was morning, a second day.

What 'evening', 'morning', and 'day' mean, has been shown already at verse 5.

7134. 'As when there was straw' means as they had served their truths so called. This is clear from the meaning of 'straw' as the general kind of factual knowledge, which is a vessel for truth, dealt with in 7112, 7131. The reason why the expression 'truths so called' is used is that these are spoken by the evil, who do not consider truths to be truths.
