Exegesis
The concluding construct šî-ḇāʿt yā-mîm {שִׁבְעַת יָמִים | šî-ḇāʿt yā-mîm} ‘seven days’ specifies the period of observance. Hebrew construct chains and vav coordination create a formal list structure that is mirrored in the English translation.
In context — Leviticus 23:40
And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of a beautiful tree , branches of palm trees, a bough of thick-leaved tree, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.
