What is the meaning of “seventy weeks (sevens)”?
Westerns think in units of ten called decades.
Israelites think in units of seven called heptads. The Sabbatical Year is based on seven years (Lev. 25:1-7)
The Israelites used a lunar calendar a lunar year is about 360 days.
In these six statements we have the sum of all the good things that God promised to humanity through Israel perfectly realized.

The Moody Bible Commentary 2. Daniel’s Vision of the Seventy Weeks (9:20–27)
The starting point of the prophecy would have begun on Nisan 1 (March 5), 444 BC, followed by 69 weeks of 360 day years or 173,880 days, and culminated on Nisan 10 (March 30), AD 33, the date of Jesus the Messiah’s triumphal entry (Lk 19:28–40)
26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed.
Jesus the Messiah is Crucified He atones for sin.
