Bible Clocks
Clocks that read "hour of day" instead of the modern "hour of the clock" or "o'clock." This is accomplished by rotating the clock face so the 7 is on top, at noon, when people take lunchbreak. On the 12 hour models, the calendar day starts at 6pm, when the hour hand points down. The first revolution counts off the 4, 3 hour, watches of the night, then at 6am (sunrise nominally) the 12 hours of daytime begin, with a sabbath or ciesta at high noon. Great for understanding Bible stories that reference hour of day, like Jesus' crucifixion, which began at 8am, not 9am as some Bible translator's mistakenly translate. Since the hands are always in the expected place you can also read these clocks like any regular analog clock provided you know the modern analog clock face.
The 24 hour clocks reflect the shape of a whole day best, but require reading military time to convert from Bible time to o'clock time. These 24 hour models are virtual sun dials. As the hour hand goes around the clock it tracks where the sun is relative to the horizon. The day begins on the right side, at sunsent (or 6pm to be precise). As the clock hand sweeps across the bottom of the clock, counting off the watches of the night, the sun is below the horizon. Then, at 6am (sunsire nominally), the hour hand rises on the left side and sweeps across the top half of the day counting the 12 daytime hours. Like the 12 hour clocks, the 24 hour clocks also place the 7th hour of the day at high noon.
