The day in Genesis is exactly the same as ours. In Genesis 1 each day (Hebrew word yom) is qualified by the words 'evening and morning'. It thus cannot mean an indefinite period of time but only a day like ours.
How long was Genesis creation day six?
Those who realise the difficulty in reading entirely literally the creation story in Genesis chapter 1, often resort to equivications that would make the story at least a little more consistent with known science. One of these equivications is to state that each 'day' in Genesis was not really a day, but an extremely long period of almost indeterminate length.This is neither necessary, nor meaningful. The Hebrew word used here is one that refers to a natural, 24-hour day. It is also clear from Genesis itself that the author believed each day to be followed by a night, and that each day was more or less the same length as a natural day. In the Exodus version of the ten commandments, God commands that the seventh day be kept because he rested on that day: this clearly refers to a natural day. So it is with the sixth day: the author was speaking of a 24-hour day only.
When does a day begin in Genesis 1?
