See S"A HaRav 489:9 and M"B 489:9 (from the Chok Yaakovs"k 10 who quotes
the Shibolei Haleket Simon 234) that proper Loshon Hakodesn is to say
Plural "Yomim" from 2 through 10 nafter that it is singuler "yom" , see
also all the number of years at the end of Parshas Breishis and Noach etc.
(the last Possuk in Chumosh Breishis is no contradiction perhaps as the
syntex is changed by "ben").
