The word yesterday is used for the previous day, Ex. 5: 14; John 4: 52; Acts 7: 28; and for past time indefinitely, as "a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday;" and as when the Lord Jesus is said to be "the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever." Ps. 90: 4; Heb. 13: 8. It is used also as if of 'no duration,' as "we are but of yesterday." Job 8: 9. Yesternight is the same as would now be called 'last night.' Gen. 19: 34; Gen. 31: 29, 42.
