Isaiah 8-9; Proverbs 3:11-26
Monday's Bible Reading: Isaiah 8-9; Proverbs 3:11-26
The eighty-ninth day of summer.
25 Elul on the Jewish calendar.
In Jewish history, "This is the traditional day of the beginning of Creation, as recorded in the first chapter of Genesis. (The holiday of Rosh Hashana commemorates the birth of mankind, on the sixth day of Creation.) Much has been written in recent years in an attempt to understand the biblical account, in light of scientific discoveries of the age of the universe. Some rabbinic writings from 1,500 years ago describe the six days of Creation as epochs, rather than literal 24-hour days. Time as we know it didn't begin until after the six days, and given the law of relativity, mathematical formulas suggest that those initial days can be viewed as time periods spanning billions of years."
