"Nope . Yowm could be day ( a in opposed to night - thus only around 12 hours or so ) , it could be a 24 hour day , it could be days ( as in a lifetime ) , it could be just a general term for `` time `` or a `` period `` . It could also mean year . Yowm can be translated as each and every one of those . So your statement is false that it is `` understood `` to be that when it could just as easily be translated as one of the others ."
"However , if you read Genesis 1 , it is obvious because of the fact that they repeatedly say 'and it was night and day xxxx ' , it means literal days . While it could be 'translated ' to mean another , the fact 'it was night and it was day on the xxxx day ' demonstrates those translations would be dishonest ."
