I'm just giving definition from the Hebrew...
Linguistic Roots: The word "שבוע" (shavua) comes from the Hebrew root "שבע" (sheva), which means "seven."
Please look it up.
It's typically used for 7 days in a week, but that doesn't mean that's the literal definition of it.
Jacob had to work another week, literally week, to get Rachel. And that was 7 years.
