That they were not periods of 1,000 years or more is demonstrated by the fact that Adam was created on the sixth day, but died after the seventh day at the age of 930 (Gen. 5,5). If the seventh day was a period of 1,000 years then Adam would have been more than 1,000 when he died.
Tena ni siku, havikuwa ni vipindi vyovyote vya miaka 1000, bali alikufa baada ya siku saba akiwa na umri wa miaka 930 (Mwa.5: 5). Ikiwa siku ya saba ilikuwa ni kipindi cha miaka 1000 basi Adamu angekuwa zaidi ya miaka 1000 alipokufa.
