a week of days
a. a week of days: a period of seven days, one week; (also occasionally) a full week, an entire week. [Originally (in quot. a13821) after post-classical Latin ebdomas dierum (Vulgate, Genesis 29:27); the Hebrew original of the translated passage has šāḇūaʿ week, period of seven days (see Shavuot n.) without further qualification.
In later use (in quots. 15601, 15602, and later) after Hebrew šāḇūaʿ yāmīm, lit. ‘week of days’ (Daniel 10:2 and 10:3, in šĕlōšāh šāḇuʿīm yāmīm three entire weeks, lit. ‘three weeks of days’; < šāḇuāʿ week + yāmīm , plural of yōm day: see Yom Kippur n.). Although Hebrew šāḇūaʿ usually means ‘period of seven days’, it is also attested five times in Daniel 9:24–27 in the extended sense ‘period of seven years’ (compare a week of years at Phrases 1b). Hence, yāmīm ‘days’ was added in Daniel 10:2 and 10:3 for the purposes of disambiguation (compare quots. 15601 and 2011).]
