Context of Daniel 8:13

11Then it attacked the commander of the army so that it took the daily burnt offering from him and wrecked his holy place. 12In its rebelliousness it was given an army to put a stop to the daily burnt offering. It threw truth on the ground. The horn was successful in everything it did. Then I heard a holy one speaking. Another holy one said to the one who was speaking, “How long will the things in this vision—the daily burnt offering, the destructive rebellion, the surrender of the holy place, and the trampling of the army—take place?” 14He told me, “For 2,300 evenings and mornings. Then the holy place will be made acceptable to God.” 15Now as I, Daniel, watched the vision and tried to understand it, I saw someone who looked like a man standing in front of me.
