Exegesis
The temporal phrase šibʿat yāmîm šênît {שִׁבְעַת יָמִים שֵׁנִית | šibʿat yāmîm šênît} pairs cardinal and ordinal forms to denote a repeated seven-day period. This verb coordination structures the ritual into patient action followed by priestly oversight, reflecting Levitical purity procedures.
