¹³ Then I heard ^(A)a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one who spoke, ^(B)“For how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, ^(C)the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled underfoot?” ¹⁴ And he said to me,^[a] “For 2,300 ^(D)evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state.”

The Interpretation of the Vision

¹⁵ When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I ^(E)sought to understand it. And behold, there stood before me one having ^(F)the appearance of a man. ^16 (G)And I heard a man's voice ^(H)between the banks of the ^(I)Ulai, and it called, ^(J)“Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.” ¹⁷ So he came near where I stood. And when he came, ^(K)I was frightened ^(L)and fell on my face. But he said to me, “Understand, ^(M)O son of man, that the vision is for ^(N)the time of the end.”
