Daniel 9:13

9:13 Just as it is written in the law of Moses, so all this calamity has come on us. Still we have not tried to pacify ¹  the LORD our God by turning back from our sin and by seeking wisdom ²  from your reliable moral standards. ³ 

Daniel 9:27

9:27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one week. ⁴ 

But in the middle of that week

he will bring sacrifices and offerings to a halt.

On the wing ⁵  of abominations will come ⁶  one who destroys,

until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys.”

[9:13]  ¹ tn Heb “we have not pacified the face of.”

[9:13]  ² tn Or “by gaining insight.”

[9:13]  ³ tn Heb “by your truth.” The Hebrew term does not refer here to abstract truth, however, but to the reliable moral guidance found in the covenant law. See vv 10-11.

[9:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “one seven” (also later in this line).

[9:27]  ⁵ tn The referent of the Hebrew word כְּנַף (kÿnaf, “wing”) is unclear here. The LXX and Theodotion have “the temple.” Some English versions (e.g., NAB, NIV) take this to mean “a wing of the temple,” but this is not clear.

[9:27]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text does not have this verb, but it has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
