Try Daniel 10:2-3, where the weeks are also masculine plural.
NO. The 10th Chapter citation is the FEMININE Gender text. As already provided, in the ENTIRE O.T., the unusual Masculine Gender text is found ONLY in the 9th Chapter of Daniel.
And again, NO. -- Walvoord did a wonderful job citing experts, which include Young, Keil & Kliefoth. It's the ignorant commentators and their gullible followers that "made a mess" when they defied the angel's instructions in 12:4 & 9:Young/Keil/Kliefoth/Walvoord have certainly made a mess.
Daniel 12:4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
... and contrived a FALSE rendering by summing the seven "weeks", and the sixty-two "weeks" as though it were intended to convey "sixty-nine", in a corrupt attempt to place Jesus as the subject of the prophecy.
“... as Young points out, the word ‘sevens’ is in the masculine plural instead of the usual feminine plural. No clear explanation is given except that Young feels ‘it was for the deliberate purpose of calling attention to the fact that the word “sevens” is employed in an unusual sense.’”
“...Young finally concludes after some discussion that Keil and Kliefoth are correct when they hold that the word ‘sevens’ does not necessarily mean year-weeks, but an intentionally indefinite designation of a period of time measured by the number seven, which chronological duration must be determined on other grounds.”
