Jewish commentator Marcus Kalisch (1828 - 1885) wrote: “The same opinion has been more distinctly expressed by Ebn Ezra [noted Spanish rabbi, 1092 - 1167]: ‘ We have two evenings; the first, the setting of the sun... and the second, the ceasing of the light which is reflected in the clouds; and between both lies an interval of about one hour and twenty minutes; ’ and this explanation, which appears to be the most rational interpretation is also that of the Karaites and the Samaritans, and has been adopted by many others. ”
