Exegesis
The verse opens with a genitive absolute, genomenes de hemeras {Γενομένης δὲ ἡμέρας | geno-mé-nēs dè hē-mé-ras} “when day had come,” which sets a temporal frame independent of the main clause.
In context — Acts 23:12
But when day had come, the Jews , having formed a conspiracy, bound themselves under a curse , saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
