8790. 'And they will be ready by the third day' means [thus] full and complete preparation. This is clear from the meaning of 'being ready' as preparation through sanctification, dealt with just above; and from the meaning of 'the third day' as a state made complete, dealt with in 7715, thus full and complete preparation.
