Week

Easton, 1897

From the beginning, time was divided into weeks, each consisting of six days of working and one of rest (Genesis 2:2, Genesis 2:3; Genesis 7:10; Genesis 8:10, Genesis 8:12; Genesis 29:28). The references to this division of days becomes afterwards more frequent (Exodus 34:22; Leviticus 12:5; Numbers 28:26; Deuteronomy 16:16; 2 Chronicles 8:13; Jeremiah 5:24; Daniel 9:24-27; Daniel 10:2, Daniel 10:3). It has been found to exist among almost all nations.
