Full Biblical Usage:¶

Genesis 29:27, 29:28; Exodus 34:22; Leviticus 12:5; Numbers 28:26; Deuteronomy 16:9, 16:10, 16:16; Judges 14:12; 2 Chronicles 8:13; Jeremiah 5:24; Ezekiel 21:28, 45:21; Daniel 9:24, 9:25, 9:26, 9:27, 10:2, 10:3

Critical note: In Dan 10:2-3, Daniel says "three full weeks" -- Hebrew: שָׁלשׁ שָׁבֻעִים יָמִים (shabuim YAMIM = "weeks of DAYS"). The explicit addition of YAMIM ("days") distinguishes these as day-weeks. In Dan 9:24, YAMIM is ABSENT -- implying year-weeks.
