The Hebrews reckoned two evenings of each day, as appears from Ex. 16:12: 30:8; 12:6 (marg.); Lev. 23:5 (marg. R.V., between the two evenings). The first evening was that period when the sun was verging towards setting, and the second evening the moment of actual sunset.
BCE/CE usually refers to the Common Era (the years are the same as AD/BC). That is, BC is usually understood to mean Before the Common Era and CE to mean Common Era, though it is possible to reinterpret the abbreviations as Christian Era..
That is 1 CE = 1 AD, and 2016 CE = 2016 AD. The word common simply means that it is based on the most frequently used calendar system: the Gregorian Calendar. Both measure the number of years before the approximate birthday of Yeshua/Jesus. Designation of a particular year in BC and BCE also have identical values.
