The meaning of this clause is that the protagonist planned to make ale libations for Shang Jia throughout the week. On the particular days 1/10, 2/10 and 7/10 of the present week, the he also planned to offer sacrifice to these three ancestors. The proposition here is to offer Ancestors Jia and Yi the same sacrificial animal, while offering Ancestress Geng a sacrificial animal that appears to have been a grade lower. 587 This divination can likely be synchronized with 113.26. 588 This divination can likely be reconstructed on the basis of 85.5.
