Passover

• Tradition, however, interprets the phrase between the two evenings to mean from afternoon to the disappearing of the sun,

• the first evening being from the time when the sun begins to decline from its vertical or noontide point towards the west;

• and the second from its going down and vanishing out of sight, which is the reason why the daily sacrifice might be killed at 12:30 P.M. on a Friday

• 11 Calling a bird of prey from the east,• The man who executes My counsel, from a far country.• Indeed I have spoken it;I will also bring it to pass.• I have purposed it;I will also do it.
