Interesting and original it is indeed. Is there a precedent for counting solar eclipses as days separate from the day in which they occur? It sounds kind of out there to me.

Hi Akhi Brian,
A 3-hour solar eclipse ? Solar eclipses only last a few minutes maximum.
Quote:And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
(Mark 15:33)
Additionally, a solar eclipse could not have occurred on or near Passover ... solar eclipses only occur during the new moon phase, and Passover always corresponds to a full moon.
This was a one-time miracle. So I don't think there was a precedent.
