Is the term in Genesis for day a literal 24 hour day? No. Here is the fact.
Genesis 2:2 tells us God began to rest on the seventh DAY. Was it a 24 hour literal day?
Hebrews 4:10 For the man who has entered into God’s rest has also rested from his own works, just as God did from his own.
God was still in the day of rest from the creative process over a thousand years from the writing of Genesis.
Conclusion: Hebrew is a poetic language the meaning of the word depends on the context, the context here is that the term day in the Genesis account is an indefinite period of time. That is proven by the writer of Hebrews, Paul, who wad himself a Hebrew scholar.
