Trap: «more in the morning than in the afternoon» is a difference. Morning ends at noon (12:00); a.m. times are morning. Do not confuse with «mourning» (being sad after a death). ## In Jewish tradition In the Torah a day begins at the evening and goes through the morning. "Evening and morning" make one day. In the prophets and psalms, morning also stands for new hope, and "son of the morning" is a bright star-like title. **Interpretation.** Because the day begins in the evening, Shabbat and festivals start at sundown. Tradition also sets a morning prayer, Shacharit, and a morning offering. Lamentations says God's kindness is new every morning, and tradition sings this in prayer. ### Examples - And they brought yet unto him freewill-offerings every morning.
