Usage: The Hebrew word "layil" primarily refers to the period of darkness between sunset and sunrise, commonly known as "night." It is used in the Bible to denote both the literal time of night and metaphorically to represent times of trouble, ignorance, or spiritual darkness. The term is often contrasted with "day" (יוֹם, yom) to illustrate the cycle of time and the duality of light and darkness.
