Since all of the instances in Daniel 9 and 10 are masculine, what "Feminine text" are you referring to?
Well, according to the "Blue Letter Bible" word search for "weeks"/ shabuwa`/ H7620, there are ~20 cited instances, and where we've already identified 4 in Daniel 9, and 2 in Daniel 10, that leaves 14 which you've attested are NOT the UNUSUAL Masculine gender text, and thus these 14 must be of the implied* USUAL Feminine gender text:
* “... 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.’”[1]

Please note that neither the "Blue Letter Bible" nor "Strongs" differentiates between the subtle word variations and associated genders.
