Two and a Half
Page 6 (pages 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35)

So the Tanach search on the prior page suggests that Hebrew idiom may indicate a factor of 2-1/2.

Daniel 12:7 And I heard the man clad in linen, who was above the waters of the river, and he raised his right hand and his left hand to the heavens, and he swore by the Life of the world, that in the time of [two] times and a half, and when they have ended shattering the strength of the holy people, all these will end.

So if "hemera" were meant to be translated as "time", and as per 2Peter 3:8 a "hemera" or "time" is as a 1000 years, and if the Hebrew idiom "time, times and an half" were intended to suggest a factor of 2.5, then how many years would be indicated by this problem?
