A biblical 'day' starts at sunset and ends the following Gregorian day at sunset. For example, 5/6 April = sunset on 5th April to sunset on 6th April (= one day).
Those living in the IDL zone (between the River Jordan and New Zealand and the IDL/Internatational Date Line - see map) observe the moedim one day later.
