Genesis 1:13
"And the evening and the morning were the third day."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the evening and the morning were the third day. The space of twenty four hours ran out, and were measured, either by the rotation of the body of light

and heat around the earth, or of the earth upon its axis: and this was according to Capellus the twentieth day of April, and, according to Bishop Usher, the twenty fifth of October; though those who suppose the world was created in autumn make the first day to be the first of September, and so this must be the third of that month; the Jews are divided about the season of the creation; some say Nisan or March, others Tisri or September (g). (g) Vid. T. Bab. Roshhashanah, fol. 11. 1.
