- Genesis 1:14
And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to distinguish between the day and the night, and let them be signs to mark the seasons and days and years.
Commentary on Genesis 1:142 voices
Look first on the firmament of heaven, which was made before the sun. Look first on the earth, which began to be visible and was already formed before the sun put in its appearance. Look at the plants of the earth, which preceded in time the light of the sun. The bramble preceded the sun. The blade of grass is older than the moon. Therefore, do not believe that object to be a god to which the gifts of God are seen to be preferred. Three days have passed.
Ambrose of Milan· The Six Days of Creation, 397Patristic

Commentary on Genesis 47:92 voices
Jacob said unto Pharaoh, the days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The days of the years of my pilgrimage - מגורי megurai, of my sojourning or wandering. Jacob had always lived a migratory or wandering life, in different parts of Canaan, Mesopotamia, and Egypt, scarcely ever at rest; and in the places where he lived longest, always exposed to the fatigues of the field and the desert. Our word pilgrim comes from the French pelerin and pelegrin, which are corrupted from the Latin peregrinus, an alien, stranger, or foreigner, from the adverb peregre, abroad, not at home.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Exodus 12:2
“This month is the beginning of months for you; it shall be the first month of your year.
Commentary on Exodus 12:21 voice
And we can also understand the same about this: "This month shall be to you the beginning of months"; although it is understood as the 7th in terms of time, because it spoke of the Lord's Passover, which is celebrated at the beginning of spring. Therefore, in this beginning of months, He made the heavens and the earth, which was fitting for the beginning of the world, where a suitable spring season was for everyone.
Ambrose of Milan· The Six Days of Creation 1.4.13, 397Patristic

If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its buyer and his descendants. It is not to be released in the Jubilee.

- Psalms 90:4
For in Your sight a thousand years are but a day that passes, or a watch of the night.
Commentary on Psalms 90:41 voice
For a thousand years before your eyes are as yesterday's day, which has passed. Compared to the eternity of God, all the time of man is short: although it seems long to us, yet in comparison with eternity, because it is bounded by an end, it is reckoned as nothing.
Jerome· Homily 67, on Psalm 89 (Alternate Series), 420Patristic
- 2 Peter 3:8
Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
Commentary on 2 Peter 3:81 voice
A thousand years is the time that the temple worship lasted. For from the completion of the temple by Solomon, who built the Lord's house until it became redundant when Christ died on the cross is a thousand years. This thousand years is compared to a day, or to a watch in the night, because everything appeared to be night before the coming of the Savior. For until the sun of righteousness arose, everyone dwelt in ignorance and confusion.
Athanasius of Alexandria· CATENA, 373Patristic
- Revelation 20:2–4
He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.
Commentary on Revelation 20:2–42 voices
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a chain in his hand. And he held the dragon, that old serpent, which is called the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and cast him into the abyss, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed a little season.
Victorinus of Pettau· Commentary on the Apocalypse of the Blessed John, 304Patristic
When the prince of the demons appears in this wise, the crafty one, as I said before, strikes terror by speaking great things... But not even then ought we, the faithful, to fear his appearance or give heed to his words. For he is a liar and speaketh of truth never a word.
Athanasius of Alexandria· Life of Antony, Section 24, 373Patristic
- Revelation 20:7
When the thousand years are complete, Satan will be released from his prison,
Commentary on Revelation 20:71 voice
[We have here a difficulty] for we must inquire how it is that when the thousand years have ended, the enemy is given his freedom and the nations [continue to] live upon the earth within that infinity [which occurs after the end]. For indeed, after …
