בְּנֶֽשֶׁף־בְּעֶ֥רֶב י֑וֹם בְּאִישׁ֥וֹן לַ֝֗יְלָה וַאֲפֵלָֽה׃
C’était à l’heure du crépuscule, quand le soir tombait et que la nuit se faisait sombre et obscure.

How David rose at midnight ! He rose at eventide ; as it is written, "I arose early beneshef and cried" (Ps. cxix. 147). Whence is it learnt that neshef means evening ? Because it is written, "In the twilight [beneshef], in the evening of the day, in the blackness of night and the darkness" (Prov. vii. 9).
