The word for 'week' is 'sabu', which is derived from 'seba', the word for 'seven'. Its normal plural is feminine in form: 'sebuot'. Only in this chapter of Daniel does it appear in the masculine plural 'sabuim'." "Therefore, it is strongly suggestive of the idea "heptad" (a series or combination of seven), rather than a 'week' in the sense of a series of seven days." Well, that's different then. You could have said this a few hours ago and saved us some trouble. :-)

I find that if I'm away from this thread for long, things pile up EXTREMELY fast! So, as I read on down, I find something to rattle on about and I post my reply, only to find that wiser(?) heads than mine have already jumped on it. Please forgive me for being late today.........
