I take each one individually. Yes, the same word used for days in Genesis is the one used by Moses regarding the Sabbath. Here’s the deal, though, and it is twofold:

1. these are the meanings that can apply to the word:
NASB Translation
afternoon* (1), age (8), age* (1), all (1), always* (14), amount* (2), battle (1), birthday* (1), Chronicles* (38), completely* (1), continually* (14), course* (1), daily (22), daily the days (1), day (1115), day of the days (1), day that the period (1), day’s (6), day’s every day (1), daylight* (1), days (635), days on the day (1), days to day (1), days you shall daily (1), days ago (1), days’ (11), each (1), each day (4), entire (2), eternity (1), evening* (1), ever in your life* (1), every day (2), fate (1), first (5), forever* (11), forevermore* (1), full (5), full year (1), future* (1), holiday* (3), later* (2), length (1), life (12), life* (1), lifetime (2), lifetime* (1), live (1), long (2), long as i live (1), long* (11), midday* (1), now (5), older* (1), once (2), period (3), perpetually* (2), present (1), recently (1), reigns (1), ripe* (1), short-lived* (1), so long* (1), some time (1), survived* (2), time (45), time* (1), times* (2), today (172), today* (1), usual (1), very old* (1), when (10), when the days (1), whenever (1), while (3), whole (2), year (10), yearly (5), years (13), yesterday* (1).
And this touches on the word “aion” in the new testament. In some places it is translated “world” (do not love the things of this world) and in others it is translated “forever” or “eternity”. but the better translation in both cases Is “age” or “for the age” or for the ages”.
2. Trying to nail down the days misses the whole point. It’s not about seven days, seven years, or seven eons. It is about God Creating the heavens and the earth and everything that is on it.

And since a day is as a thousand years to God, why couldn’t the “days” in genesis be seven thousand years? Or seventy thousand, or seventy million?

You cut and paste, I now from study.

My words are mine, not from some site that surfed using a phrase on.

Just because there are many different meanings for a word, does not mean they are all used. You must take context, time and understanding of the subject matter. Something you are clueless about.

You obviously get your understanding from others, because you refuse to read it for your self. As you already admitted.

From hence forth, discussing this subject with you is worse than discussing abortion with a radical feminist.

You have no knowledge, thus you could care less about what the Scriptures truly say.

OH, I’m sorry, the Scriptures are useless to you. Go back to the leftists church you attend, if you go at all, and feel comfortable in your trip to oblivion.
