    • 1834, John Mason Good, Nature of the material world, page 148:
      Moses distinctly tells us that, in the preceding chapter, he has used the term יום, day, in the sense of generation, succession, or epoch; while we find him here extending the same term day to the whole hexaemeron, the entire term of time, whatever it may be, that these six days or generations filled up.
