Exegesis
The resulting clause uses yemei {יְמֵי | yə-mê} ‘days/periods’ to introduce the cumulative total tešʿâ wə-arba‘im shanah {תֵּשַׁע וְאַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה | tē-šāʿ wə-ar-ba-ʿîm šā-nāh} ‘forty-nine years’. This parallelism and sequential numbering underscore the structured sabbatical rhythm and its completion.
In context — Leviticus 25:8
And you shall count for yourself seven sabbath years, seven times seven years; and the sabbath-year cycles shall be for you forty-nine years.
