The ancient Hebrews began their artificial day in the evening, and ended it the next evening; so that the night preceded the day, whence it is said, evening and morning one day, Gen_1:5. They allowed twelve hours to the night, and twelve to the day. Night is put for a time of affliction and adversity: Thou hast proved mine heart, thou hast visited me in the night, thou hast tried me, Psa_17:3; that is, by adversity and tribulation. And the morning cometh, and also the night, Isa_21:12. Night is also put for the time of death: The night cometh, wherein no man can work, Joh_9:4. Children of the day, and children of the night, in a moral and figurative sense, denote good men and wicked men, Christians and Gentiles. The disciples of the Son of God are children of light: they belong to the light, they walk in the light of truth; while the children of the night walk in the darkness of ignorance and infidelity, and perform only works of darkness. Ye are all the children of the light, and the children of the day; we are not of the night, nor of darkness, 1Th_5:5.

1. In the Old Testament:
Figurative uses: The word ?night? (לילה, laylāh or ליל, layil) is sometimes used figuratively in the Old Testament. Thus, Moses compares the brevity of time, the lapse of a thousand years, to ?a watch in the night? (Psa_90:4). Adversity is depicted by it in such places as Job_35:10; compare Isa_8:20; Jer_15:9. Disappointment and despair are apparently depicted by it in the ?burden of Dumah? (Isa_21:11, Isa_21:12); and spiritual blindness, coming upon the false prophets (Mic_3:6); again sudden and overwhelming confusion (Amo_5:8; Isa_59:10 the King James Version, נשׁף, nesheph, ?twilight? as in the Revised Version (British and American)).
2. In the New Testament:
On the lips of Jesus (Joh_9:4) it signifies the end of opportunity to labor; repeated in that touching little allegory spoken to His disciples when He was called to the grave of Lazarus (Joh_11:9, Joh_11:10). Paul also uses the figure in reference to the Parousia (Rom_13:12), where ?night? seems to refer to the present aeon and ?day? to the aeon to come. He also uses it in 1Th_5:5, 1Th_5:7 where the status of the redeemed is depicted by ?day,? that of the unregenerate by ?night,? again, as the context shows, in reference to the Parousia. In Rev_21:25 and Rev_22:5, the passing of the ?night? indicates the realization of that to which the Parousia looked forward, the establishment of the kingdom of God forever. See also Delitzsch, Iris, 35.

The general division of the night among the Hebrews has been described under Day; and it only remains to indicate a few marked applications of the word. The term of human life is usually called a day in Scripture but in one passage it is called night, to be followed soon by day, 'the day is at hand' (Rom_13:12). Being a time of darkness, the image an shadow of death, in which the beasts of prey go forth to devour, it was made a symbol of a season of adversity and trouble, in which men prey upon each other, and the strong tyrannize over the weak (Isa_21:12; Zec_14:6-7; comp. Rev_21:23; Rev_22:5). Hence continued day, or the absence of night, implies a constant state of quiet and happiness, undisturbed by the vicissitudes of peace and war. Night is also put, as in our own language, for a time of ignorance and helplessness (Mic_3:6). In Joh_9:4, night represent death, a necessary result of the correlative usage which makes life a day.

Exo_12:42 (c) The ungodly live in the dark. Paul came to turn men from darkness to light. This darkness in Egypt was just a type and a picture of those who live without the light of life, then are suddenly cut off and taken to the outer dark. When the plague of darkness fell upon Egypt, there was light in all the houses of the Israelites. Those who reject the light of life dwell here and hereafter in darkness.
Lev_6:9 (c) This represents the night of need. The sinner is living in the dark and so the sacrifice is constantly being offered for him in order that he may be saved any time that he will came to the altar to find the Saviour. There is no time in the sinner's life when he may not come and find the Saviour ready to save him.
Job_35:10 (c) This describes the terrible dark times which Job experienced when he lost all his possessions and only GOD remained. He sang in the midst of his poverty and boils.
Psa_16:7 (c) This type represents the dark times in David's life when the shadows fell across his path, and he was constantly in fear for his life.
Psa_30:5 (c) This probably represents the whole period of this life as contrasted with the time of the coming of the Lord which is the morning hour. It also represents the dark times of some specific sorrow. The Lord gives deliverance and joy follows.
Psa_42:8 (c) This represents a time of perplexity in which victory is given while the difficulty still remains.
Isa_21:12 (b) The night which is mentioned no doubt refers to the long night of eternity which is called the "outer dark" in the New Testament. In hell none of the light of GOD may be seen. The sinner asks about the night. He hardly ever asks, "Is there a Heaven?" His inquiry is about hell. The answer in this verse reminds the inquirer of the fact that there is a morning coming, a morning without clouds. It is the time when our precious Lord rules and reigns, and all sin and wickedness has been put away. The saved man enters into the morning time of blessing, while the unsaved man enters into the night of sorrow and suffering.
Jer_14:8 (b) Israel is going through a time of darkness and despair while scattered over the earth. Some day this night will be past, and CHRIST, the Sun of Righteousness, will resume His place on the earth, but not as a lowly shepherd, but as the mighty King who will bring light and life to the nation of Israel.
Hos_7:6 (b) We may learn from this that those in Israel who should have been producing blessing and profit for the nation were not doing so. The leaders were failing in their task as helpers of GOD's people.
Joh_13:30 (c) It is always night for those who turn their backs on CHRIST, go out of His presence to deny Him, and take their place among the enemies of GOD, and those who wickedly oppose CHRIST JESUS. (See also Joh_11:10).
1Th_5:5 (a) This is one of the many ways in which the Lord assures us that those who are His children saved by grace, and brought into His marvelous light, do not belong to the kingdom of darkness, nor do they accept the theology of those who are in the dark.
Rev_21:25 (a) In Heaven where the Lord is the light, there are no times of darkness, no seasons of sorrow or perplexity, no hidden times when the sun goes down and sin comes up. Those who go to Heaven dwell in the light constantly, and there are never any shadows there.

Night
(לִיַל, la'yil [with ה paragogic, לִיְלָה, la'yelath], νύξ), the period of darkness, from sunset to sunrise, including the morning and evening twilight, as opposed to day, the period of light (Gen_1:5). Following the Oriental sunset is the brief evening twilight נֶשֶׁ, nesheph, Job_24:15, rendered night in Isa_5:11; Isa_21:4; Isa_59:10), when the stars appeared (Job_3:9). This is also called evening עֶרֶב, ereb, Pro_7:9, rendered night in Gen_49:27; Job_7:4), but the term which especially denotes the evening twilight is עֲלָטָה, alatdh (Gen_15:17, A. V. dark; Eze_12:6-7; Eze_12:12). Ereb also denotes the time just before sunset (Deu_23:11; Jos_8:29), when the women went to draw water (Gen_24:11), and the decline of the day is called the turning of evening (פְּנוֹת עֶרֶב, Gen_24:63), the time of prayer. This period of the day must also be that which is described as night when Boaz winnowed his barley in the evening breeze (Rth_3:2), the cool of the day (Gen_3:8), when the shadows begin to fall (Jer_6:4), and the wolves prowl about (Hab_1:8; Zep_3:3). The time of midnight (חֲצַי הִלִּיְלָה, half of the night, Rth_3:7, and הִלֵּיְלָה חֲצוֹת, the plural form, Exo_11:4), or greatest darkness, is called in Pro_7:9, the pupil of night (אַישׁוֹן לִיְלָה, A. V. black night). The period between midnight and the morning twilight was generally selected for attacking an enemy by surprise (Jdg_7:19). The morning twilight is denoted by the same term, nesheph as the evening twilight, and is unmistakably intended in 1Sa_31:12; Job_7:4; Psalm cxix. 147; possibly also in Isaiah v , 11. With sunrise the night ended. In one passage (Job_26:10, חשֶׁךְ, choshek) darkness is rendered night in the A. V., but is correctly given in the margin. SEE DAY. As figuratively the term of human life is often called a day in Scripture, so in one passage it is called night, to be followed soon by day: The day is at hand (Rom_8:12). Being a time of darkness, the image and shadow of death, in which the beasts of prey go forth to devour, night was made a symbol of a season of adversity and trouble, in which men prey upon each other, and the strong tyrannize over the weak (Isa_21:12; Zec_14:6-7; comp. Rev_21:23; Rev_22:5). Hence continued day, or the absence of night, implies a constant state of quiet and happiness. Night is also put, as in our own language, for a time of ignorance and helplessness (Mic_3:6). In Joh_9:4, by a natural figure, night represents death. Children of the day and children of the night denote good men and wicked men. The disciples of the Son of God are children of the light: they belong to the light, they walk in the light of truth; while the children of the night walk in the darkness of ignorance and infidelity, and perform only works of darkness (1Th_5:5). SEE NIGHT-WATCH.
NIGHT (Latin Nox). The ancient Greeks and Romans deified Night, and called her the daughter of Chaos. Orpheus reckons her the most ancient of the deities, and calls her the mother of gods and men. The poets describe her as clothed with a black veil, and riding in a chariot, attended by the stars. The sacrifice proper to her was a cock, being a bird that is an enemy to silence. Night had a numerous offspring, as Madness, Contention, Death, Sleep, Dreams, Love, Deceit, Fear, Labor, Emulation, Fate, Old Age, Darkness, Misery, Complaint, Partiality, Obstinacy, etc. All this is plainly allegorical. Pausanias has left us a description of a remarkable statue of the goddess Night. We see, he says, a woman holding in her right hand a white child sleeping, and in her left a black child, asleep likewise, with both its legs distorted. The inscription tells us what they are, though we might easily guess without it. The two children are Death and Sleep, and the woman is Night, the nurse of them both.
