The Seventy “Sevens” 20While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and making my request to the LORD my God for his holy hill—21while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice.22He instructed me and said to me, “Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding.23As soon as you began to pray, an answer was given, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. Therefore, consider the message and understand the vision:24“Seventy ‘sevens’Or ‘weeks’; also in verses 25 and 26 are decreed for your people and your holy city to finishOr restrain transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy.Or Most Holy Place; or most holy One 25“Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decreeOr word to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One,Or an anointed one; also in verse 26 the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.26After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be cut off and will have nothing.Or off and will have no one; or off, but not for himself The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’Or ‘week’ In the middle of the ‘seven’Or ‘week’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.Or it” Or And one who causes desolation will come upon the pinnacle of the abominable temple, until the end that is decreed is poured out on the desolated city
