I am preparing a sermon on this area right now and that is precisely how I would read the scriptures.

John McArthur points out that:

The Jewish Talmud – a major commentary on scripture and tradition, says ‘a day and a night makes one onah (season), and a part of an onah is as the whole’.

It is an interesting area for thought but perhaps something which we can over-think.
