AND when the Sun set on the sixth Day, there were six days complete, and the Sabbath began. And it is determined by GOD, that then it is Even, when the Sun is set. Lev. 22.6. 7. The Seal which hath touched any such, shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless be wash his flesh with water; and when the Sun is down he shall be clean. The like is Deut. 23.11. When evening •eth ex, he shill wash himself with water; and when the Sun is down, he shall come into the camp again. And it was counted both by the Jews & Heathens, that when the Sun was down, the Day was at an end. Judg. 14.18. The men of the city said thus to him on the seventh day before the Sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? Had the Sun been down, they had lost their wager. 2 Sa• 3.3•. David s•are, saying, so do God to me, end more also, if I taste •ead or ought else, till the Sa• be down. Exod. 22.3.
