Watches of the Night<\/h2>\n

The Jews reckoned three military watches: the “first” or beginning of the watches (Lam 2:19), from sunset to ten o’clock; the second or “middle watch” was from ten until two o’clock (Jdg 7:19); the third, “the morning watch,” from two to sunrise (Exo 14:24; 1Sa 11:11). Afterward under the Romans they had four watches (Mat 14:25): Luk 12:38, “even, midnight, cockcrowing, and morning” (Mar 13:35); ending respectively at 9 p.m., midnight, 3 a.m., and 6 a.m. (compare Act 12:4.) Watchmen patrolled the streets (Son 3:3; Son 5:7; Psa 127:1).<\/p>\n
