Daniel 9:20-27
Legacy Standard Bible
Gabriel Brings Understanding
20 Now while I was (A)speaking and praying, and (B)confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and [a]presenting my supplication before Yahweh my God in behalf of the holy mountain of my God, 21 and while I was still speaking in prayer, then the man (C)Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision [b]previously, [c]touched me [d]in my extreme weariness about the time of the (D)evening offering. 22 Then he made me understand and spoke with me and said, “O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you insight with (E)understanding. 23 At the (F)beginning of your supplications the word was issued, so I have come to tell you, for you are [e](G)highly esteemed; so understand the message and gain (H)understanding in what has appeared.
Seventy Weeks and the Messiah
24 “Seventy [f](I)weeks have been determined for your people and for your holy city, to [g]finish the transgression, to [h]make an end of sin, to (J)make atonement for iniquity, to bring in (K)everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and [i]prophecy, and to anoint the Holy of Holies. 25 So you are to know and have insight that from the going out of a [j](L)word to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until [k](M)Messiah the (N)Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be restored and rebuilt, with [l]plaza and moat, even in times of distress. 26 Then after the sixty-two weeks the [m]Messiah will be (O)cut off and have [n]nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will (P)destroy the city and the sanctuary. And [o]its end will come with a (Q)flood; even to the end [p]there will be war; desolations are decreed. 27 And he will make a [q]firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will make sacrifice and grain offering cease; and on the wing of [r](R)abominations will come one who [s]makes desolate, even until a (S)complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who [t]makes desolate.”
