Context of Daniel 8:16

14He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be properly restored.” 15While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.

Then he touched me, helped me to my feet,
