7715. 'Three days' means a state made complete. This is clear from the meaning of 'three days' as a state made complete, dealt with in 2788, 4495. By a state made complete one should understand an entire state from beginning to end; for every state has its beginning, stages of development, and highest point, this period being what one should understand by a complete period and what is meant by 'three days'.
