Genesis 1:19

And there was evening, and there was morning – a fourth day (Hebrew: jom revii).
[On all the other days of creation, God names what he has done (days 1-3, see verses 5, 8, and 10) or blesses it (days 5-6, see verses 22 and 28). On day four, none of this happens. The heavenly bodies are not created; the only thing that happens is that their function is proclaimed. They are to serve creation on earth, not to guide through zodiac signs and astrology. Nor are they gods to be worshipped, see 2 Kings 21:3.]
[Time and space
In the early 1900s, Einstein formulated the theory of relativity, in which time is the fourth dimension. Here, in the first verses of the Bible, we sense how God can stand outside of time and know the end from the beginning (Isa. 46:10), while at the same time existing in time. The Hebrew word for year (shana. see verse 14) consists of three letters (shin–nun–he) whose numerical value is 355 (300+50+5). In our Gregorian solar-based calendar, a year is 365 and 1/4 days. A normal year in the Hebrew calendar has 355 days, which exactly corresponds to the numerical value. The Hebrew calendar has twelve months, but compensates for this by adding an extra 13th month every second or third year. See also Ex. 12:2 for more on the months.]
