Why does Daniel 9 speak of seventy weeks—and why that number?

Before Gabriel ever explains the prophecy, Scripture already gives the accounting.
The seventy weeks do not begin with speculation, symbolism, or theology imported later. They begin with covenant law, land Sabbaths, and measured disobedience.

In this first study, we examine:

God’s command for the land to rest every seventh year

How neglected land Sabbaths accumulated into a four hundred ninety–year debt

Why the Babylonian exile lasted seventy years

How Scripture itself explains the exile as covenant enforcement

Why the same number later reappears in Daniel’s prophecy

This study lays the foundation for understanding Daniel 9 by letting Scripture define its own numbers, its own causes, and its own logic—before moving on to decrees, timelines, or Messiah.

No sensationalism.
No shortcuts.
Just careful reading, historical context, and covenant accounting.

This is Part 1 of a structured study on Daniel’s seventy weeks.
