5457. 'For three days' means that which is complete. This is clear from the meaning of 'three days' as from beginning to end, and so that which is complete, dealt with in 2788, 4495. It is a new state that is now under description here. The entire state is meant by 'three days', its last phase, and so a new one, being meant by 'on the third day', dealt with in the next paragraph.
