    Just a quick note, Evening to evening, is bore out in the
    act of creation. The evening  and the morning were the first
    day...the evening and the morning were the second day, etc.
    This is found in chapter one of the first book of Moishe.

    The evening to evening concept of a day is found
     throughout Scriptures.  The Yahwehists are a false cult, and
     blend Judaism and Christianity with Occultism.

Nehemiah 13:19 makes it clear that the Sabbath begins in the evening.

Dear Andre,

I was asked for more information recently on Sabbath observance and
came across this verse- Nehemiah 13:19  which states that Nehemiah
closed the gates late in the day before Shabbat started to keep the
merchants from coming into the city to buy and sell on Shabbat.  That
clearly implies that it begins the night before.  I hope this helps.
