I question it. From everything I’ve read, a “yom” refers to some “period of time”, not defining what the length of that “period” is. I think it prudent to never assume anything.

Hard to work with the Genealogies in Genesis when the actual day is at issue. Also, “and there was evening and there was morning; the first day”.

I’m paraphrasing since there’s nowhere for me to look it up right now...

“I think it prudent to never assume anything.”

Ok, just tell me how you interpret the 4th commandment sensibly without agreeing that the six days of creation are actually six days and not unspecified periods of time or whatnot.
