Daniel 9:20-27
20WhileH5750 IH589 was speakingH1696, prayingH6419, confessingH3034 my sinH2403 andH2403 that of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and presentingH5307 my petitionH8467 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 my GodH430 concerningH5921 His holyH6944 mountainH2022— 21whileH5750 IH589 was still prayingH1696H8605, GabrielH1403, the manH376 I had seenH7200 in the earlierH8462H3286 visionH2377, cameH5060 to meH413 in swift flightH3288 about the timeH6256 of the eveningH6153 sacrificeH4503. 22He instructedH995 me and spokeH1696 with meH5973, sayingH559: “O DanielH1841, I have comeH3318 nowH6258 to give you insightH7919 and understandingH998. 23At the beginningH8462 of your petitionsH8469, an answerH1697 went outH3318, and IH589 have comeH935 to tellH5046 you, forH3588 youH859 are highly preciousH2530. So considerH995 the messageH1697 and understandH995 the visionH4758:
24SeventyH7657 weeksH76201 are decreedH2852 forH5921 your peopleH5971H5921 and your holyH6944 cityH5892 to stopH3615 their transgressionH6588, to put an endH2856 to sinH2403, to make atonementH3722 for iniquityH5771, to bring inH935 everlastingH5769 righteousnessH6664, to seal upH2856 visionH2377 and prophecyH5030, and to anointH4886 the Most HolyH6944 Place.2
25KnowH3045 and understand thisH7919: FromH4480 the issuanceH4161 of the decreeH1697 to restoreH7725 and rebuildH1129 JerusalemH3389 untilH5704 the MessiahH4899,3 the PrinceH5057, there will be sevenH7651 weeksH7620 and sixty-twoH8346H8147 weeksH7620. It will be rebuiltH7725H1129 with streetsH7339 and a trenchH2742, but in timesH6256 of distressH6695.
26Then afterH310 the sixty-twoH8346H8147 weeksH76204 the MessiahH4899 will be cut offH3772 and will have nothingH369.
Then the peopleH5971 of the princeH5057 who is to comeH935 will destroyH7843 the cityH5892 and the sanctuaryH6944. The endH7093 will come like a floodH7858, and untilH5704 the endH7093 there will be warH4421; desolationsH8074 have been decreedH2782. 27And he will confirmH1396 a covenantH1285 with manyH7227 for oneH259 weekH7620,5 but in the middleH2677 of the weekH7620 he will put an endH7673 to sacrificeH2077 and offeringH4503. And onH5921 the wingH3671 of the temple will come the abominationH8251 that causes desolationH8074,6 untilH5704 the decreedH2782 destructionH3617 is poured outH5413 uponH5921 him.7”
