The Nazarene IV

it was evening

it was evening

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.

And the evening and the morning were the first day.

*

And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

*

And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah,

*

And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

*

And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood - before - the Lord:

*

And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time - that workmen - go out to draw water.

*

And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.

*

And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's man-drakes. And he lay with her that night.

*

And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning - he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
