About these units
Week (wk)
Seven days. The seven-day week comes from the ancient Near East and is nearly universal in the modern calendar.
Nothing in the sky produces a seven-day cycle, which makes the week a human invention with a contested pedigree. Babylonians marked the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th of the lunar month as special, but that was not a continuous cycle. A continuous seven-day cycle tied to the Sabbath is attested in Judaism by the 6th century BC at the latest, and scholars disagree on whether it was borrowed from Babylon or developed independently. The Romans later used a week named for the Sun, the Moon and the five visible planets, and in AD 321 Emperor Constantine decreed it across the empire.
A week is seven days, or 604,800 seconds, and it divides evenly into neither months nor years, which is why calendars shift against it. The ISO 8601 standard starts each week on Monday and assigns week 1 to the week containing the year's first Thursday, so some years have a week 53. Other societies used different lengths: Rome had an eight-day market cycle, and revolutionary France used a ten-day week from 1793 to 1802. The English word comes from Old English wice, meaning a turn or succession.
1 week = 604,800 seconds (exactly).

Jubilee (jubilee)
Fifty years (some readings say 49), the biblical cycle after which land was returned.
Leviticus 25 tells the Israelites to count seven sabbaths of years, then to hallow the fiftieth year, when land returned to its original holders and bondservants went free. The Hebrew word yovel also meant a ram and a ram's horn trumpet, and the year was announced by a shofar blast on Yom Kippur. The English word comes from the Latin form iobeleus used in the Vulgate.
Whether the jubilee lasted 49 or 50 years is disputed. Judah the Prince identified it with the 49th year, while most classical rabbis and Maimonides read it as a separate 50th year, and some modern scholars favour 49. The figure used here is 50 years, about 1.58 billion seconds, as one common reading and a convention rather than a settled length. Practice lapsed after the exile. The Catholic Church later borrowed the name: Boniface VIII declared a jubilee in 1300, the interval was set at 50 years in 1343 and 25 years in 1470, and the 2025 jubilee ran from December 2024 to January 2026.
1 jubilee = 1,577,847,600 seconds (exactly).
