Beit Hillel say: [Both His] thought and His action took place during the day. Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said: I am astonished. How is it that the fathers of the world, Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel, disputed regarding the creation of the heavens and the earth? Rather, [His] thought took place both during the day and at night, and [His] action took place with the dimming of the sun.47Just before sunset.
