According to the entire New Testament, daylight is divided into 12 basic units of time. What are these units called?
They are called “hours.” The daylight, from sunrise to sunset, consists of twelve hours. Hours were reckoned by the shadows on a sundial. Even though some days of summer are longer than the days of winter, it always shows up on a sundial as 12 hours. “And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.” Matthew 20:9-10 NKJV Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
