This is clear from the meaning of 'a day' as a state of life, dealt with in 893, 2788, 3785, 4850; and from the meaning of 'two days' as a succeeding state, 1335, thus a complete state, that is to say, of contemplation. For when one day is mentioned in the Word, or one week, one month, or one year, a whole period of time or a state is meant, 2906. And when 'or two' is added it means remaining until it is full.
