Exegesis
Temporal parameters are set by the numeral construct shiv‘at yamim {שִׁבְעַת יָמִים | šiv-ʿaṯ yā-mîm} ‘seven days’ and the idiomatic temporal clause bayom ha-shevi‘i {בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי | bə-yôm ha-šĕ-vî-ʿî} ‘on the seventh day’.
In context — Leviticus 23:8
And you shall present a fire offering to the LORD for seven days; on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation ; you shall not do any work of service.
