Exegesis
The construct phrase bechol-gevulekha {בְּכָל־גְּבֻלְךָ | bə-khol gə-vul-kha} ‘in all your territory’ uses a maqef to assert comprehensive scope, with shivat yamim {שִׁבְעַת יָמִים | ši-vaʿ-at yā-mim} ‘seven days’ setting duration.
In context — Deuteronomy 16:4
And no leaven shall be seen in all your territory for seven days; nor shall any of the meat which you sacrifice on the evening of the first day remain until the morning.
