| Sep 5, 2021 at 6:33 | comment | added | Barbaud Julien | @PeterTurner I had seen this question before (and others even closer in their formulation). But I would defend mine by saying that I asked it because I have those two bullet points at the end that leave me dissatisfied with the answers to that older question. Although if you consider it is not enough to make it distinct, I would understand that you choose to close it. | |
| Sep 5, 2021 at 6:31 | comment | added | Barbaud Julien | Thank you for your inputs! I find actually some of the comments to answer my question a bit better than the current answers. If a day for God is a 1000 years long, it is indeed a good point (although it could still be considered deceptive when told to a human who does not have the same understanding of a day). Also, if it is a translation issue, that could also be an explanation | |

| Sep 4, 2021 at 11:45 | comment | added | Mike Borden | +1 This is a good question. Don't forget that within that same "day" God took a life and made a covering for their nakedness demonstrating, perhaps, that his mercy propitiated his judgement. It is near impossible to accurately encompass the meaning of smaller pieces of text without broad context and the Old Testament cannot be rightly divided without input from the New. | |

| Sep 3, 2021 at 20:28 | comment | added | user46876 | Neither of the two options; it is simply a Hebraism, as explained here; the same idiom also appears in 1 Kings 2:37-42. | |
| Sep 3, 2021 at 19:59 | comment | added | Nigel J | Since the answer to this question depends very much on an accurate examination of the text, I suggest that Stack Exchange - Biblical Hermeneutics would be the better site for the question. | |

reword summary, as the full question does not ask for extrapolation to a moral principle
