Since the Hebrew term ereb boqer (‘evenings and mornings’) in Daniel 8:14 mirrors Genesis 1:5’s daily cycle, and the Septuagint translates it as ‘days,’ what linguistic evidence justifies your day-for-year interpretation for the 2300 days, especially when Daniel 12:11-12 uses literal days for end-time events?
You ain’t gonna find one as The day-for-year principle (Ezekiel 4:6) is a symbolic exception, not a universal rule, and Daniel’s context supports literal days for Antiochus’ 2300-day persecution (167-164 BC, 1 Maccabees 1:41-54

The 70 weeks prophecy COMES FROM THE 2300 DAY/YEAR VISION. It is the first 490 YEARS of the 2300 YEAR vision. They both start at the same time, in the same year. Daniel was crystal clear on that point.
You have acknowledged on many occasions that Daniel’s 70 weeks is 490 LITERAL years. The 2300 days therefore must be LITERAL years, as it comes from the same vision.
Dan 8:26“The vision of the evenings and mornings that has been given you is true, but seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future.” 27I, Daniel, was worn out. I lay exhausted for several days. Then I got up and went about the king’s business. I was appalled by the vision; it was beyond understanding.
Daniel 9:20While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and making my request to the Lord my God for his holy hill— 21while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. 22He instructed me and said to me, “Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding. 23As soon as you began to pray, a word went out, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. THEREFORE, CONSIDER THE WORD AND UNDERSTAND THE VISION:
There is no basis to say Daniel’s 70 week prophecy by Gabriel came to him in a vision, because it didn’t. Saying it did is a Jesuit lie. Gabriel was there to help him understand the 2300 day/year vision.
