From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Evening       the period following sunset with which the Jewish day began       (Gen. 1:5; Mark 13:35). The Hebrews reckoned two evenings of       each day, as appears from Ex. 16:12: 30:8; 12:6 (marg.); Lev.       23:5 (marg. R.V., "between the two evenings"). The "first       evening" was that period when the sun was verging towards       setting, and the "second evening" the moment of actual sunset.       The word "evenings" in Jer. 5:6 should be "deserts" (marg.       R.V.).
