The "day" of Numbers 3:1 and Deuteronomy 4:15 seems to have lasted 40 days, that of Ezekiel 39:13 seven months, that of 1 Samuel 7:2 for 20 years, and that of Judges 18:30 for about 70 years - and that of Genesis 2:4 six "days".
days of creation. Can anyone point me to good resources for the use of yom
