Exegesis
The apodosis opens with the vav-consecutive verb vesafrah {וְסָפְרָה | wə-śā-p̄ə-rāh} ‘and she shall count’ plus the dative lah {לָּהּ | lāh} ‘to her’, followed by the numeral construct shiv’at {שִׁבְעַת | ši-ḇaʿ-ṯ} ‘seven of’ and the noun yamim {יָמִים | yā-mîm} ‘days’ to establish the required period.
In context — Leviticus 15:28
But if she is cleansed from her discharge , then she shall count for herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
