six days

Week minus one

Six days is a span of time just short of a week, often emphasizing duration or countdown: The project took six days to complete, We have six days until the deadline.

In biblical context, six days is the period of creation before the seventh day of rest, giving the phrase religious resonance in discussions of work and sabbath.
