Exegesis
The verse employs a series of prepositional phrases to chart the descent of darkness, starting with neshef {בְּנֶֽשֶׁף | bə-nê-šep̄} ‘twilight’ and paralleled by bə‘erev yôm {בְּעֶ֥רֶב יוֹם | bə-‘e-rev yôm} ‘as evening arrives,’ forming synonymous parallelism to highlight fading light.
In context — Proverbs 7:9
In twilight, as evening arrives, in the blackness of the night and in darkness.
