Daniel 9

24 Seventy weeks*9:24 Or Seventy sevens; also twice in verse 25 and once in verse 26 are decreed for your people and your holy city to stop their transgression, to put an end to sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy Place.*9:24 Or the Holy of Holies or the Most Holy One; literally the Most Holy

25 Know and understand this: From the issuance of the decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Messiah,*9:25 Or the Anointed One; also in verse 26 the Prince, there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of distress.

26 Then after the sixty-two weeks*9:26 Hebrew Then after sixty-two sevens the Messiah will be cut off and will have nothing.

Then the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood, and until the end there will be war; desolations have been decreed. 27 And he will confirm a covenant with many for one week,*9:27 Or for one seven; similarly again in this verse but in the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of the temple will come the abomination that causes desolation,*9:27 Literally And on the wing (will come) the abomination that causes desolation, or And on the wing of abominations (will come) one who causes desolation, until the decreed destruction is poured out upon him.*9:27 Literally until the decreed consummation is poured out upon (him who) is desolate."
