Daniel 9:1 In the first259 year8141 of Darius1867 the son1121 of Ahasuerus,325 of the seed2233 of the Medes,4074 which was{Or, in which he, etc.} made king4427 over the realm4438 of the Chaldeans;37782 In the first259 year8141 of his reign4427 I Daniel1840 understood995 by books5612 the number4557 of the years,8141 whereof the word1697 of the LORD3068 came to Jeremiah3414 the prophet,5030 that he would accomplish4390 seventy7657 years8141 in the desolations2723 of Jerusalem.3389
Daniel 9:3 And I set5414 my face6440 unto the Lord136 God,430 to seek1245 by prayer8605 and supplications,8469 with fasting,6685 and sackcloth,8242 and ashes:6654 And I prayed6419 unto the LORD3068 my God,430 and made my confession,3034 and said,559 O577 Lord,136 the great1419 and dreadful3372 God,410 keeping8104 the covenant1285 and mercy2617 to them that love157 him, and to them that keep8104 his commandments;46875 We have sinned,2398 and have committed iniquity,5753 and have done wickedly,7561 and have rebelled,4775 even by departing5493 from thy precepts4687 and from thy judgments:49416 Neither have we hearkened8085 unto thy servants5650 the prophets,5030 which spake1696 in thy name8034 to our kings,4428 our princes,8269 and our fathers,1 and to all the people5971 of the land.7767 O Lord,136 righteousness6666belongeth{Or, thou hast, etc.} unto thee, but unto us confusion1322 of faces,6440 as at this day;3117 to the men376 of Judah,3063 and to the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 and unto all Israel,3478thatare near,7138 and thatare far off,7350 through all the countries776 whither thou hast driven5080 them, because of their trespass4604 that they have trespassed4603 against thee.
8 O Lord,136 to us belongeth confusion1322 of face,6440 to our kings,4428 to our princes,8269 and to our fathers,1 because we have sinned2398 against thee.
9 To the Lord136 our God430belong mercies7356 and forgivenesses,5547 though we have rebelled4775 against him;
10 Neither have we obeyed8085 the voice6963 of the LORD3068 our God,430 to walk3212 in his laws,8451 which he set5414 before6440 us by3027 his servants5650 the prophets.503011 Yea, all Israel3478 have transgressed5674 thy law,8451 even by departing,5493 that they might not obey8085 thy voice;6963 therefore the curse423 is poured5413 upon us, and the oath7621 that is written3789 in the law8451 of Moses4872 the servant5650 of God,430 because we have sinned2398 against him.
12 And he hath confirmed6965 his words,1697 which he spake1696 against us, and against our judges8199 that judged8199 us, by bringing935 upon us a great1419 evil:7451 for under the whole heaven8064 hath not been done6213 as hath been done6213 upon Jerusalem.338913 As itis written3789 in the law8451 of Moses,4872 all this evil7451 is come935 upon us: yet made we not our prayer2470 before6440{Heb. intreated the face} the LORD3068 our God,430 that we might turn7725 from our iniquities,5771 and understand7919 thy truth.57114 Therefore hath the LORD3068 watched8245 upon the evil,7451 and brought935 it upon us: for the LORD3068 our God430is righteous6662 in all his works4639 which he doeth:6213 for we obeyed8085 not his voice.696315 And now, O Lord136 our God,430 that hast brought33182794 thy people5971 forth3318 out of the land776 of Egypt4714 with a mighty2389 hand,3027 and hast gotten6213 thee renown,8034{Heb. made thee a name} as at this day;3117 we have sinned,2398 we have done wickedly.7561
Daniel 9:16 O Lord,136 according to all thy righteousness,6666 I beseech thee, let thine anger639 and thy fury2534 be turned away7725 from thy city5892 Jerusalem,3389 thy holy6944 mountain:2022 because for our sins,2399 and for the iniquities5771 of our fathers,1 Jerusalem3389 and thy people5971arebecome a reproach2781 to all thatare about5439 us.
17 Now therefore, O our God,430 hear8085 the prayer8605 of thy servant,5650 and his supplications,8469 and cause thy face6440 to shine215 upon thy sanctuary4720 that is desolate,8076 for the Lord's136 sake.
18 O my God,430 incline5186 thine ear,241 and hear;8085 open6491 thine eyes,5869 and behold7200 our desolations,8074 and the city5892 which is called7121 by thy name:8034{Heb. whereupon thy Name is called} for we do not present5307{Heb. cause to fall} our supplications8469 before6440 thee for our righteousnesses,6666 but for thy great7227 mercies.735619 O Lord,136 hear;8085 O Lord,136 forgive;5545 O Lord,136 hearken7181 and do;6213 defer309 not,408 for thine own sake, O my God:430 for thy city5892 and thy people5971 are called7121 by thy name.8034
Daniel 9:20 And whiles I was speaking,1696 and praying,6419 and confessing3034 my sin2403 and the sin2403 of my people5971 Israel,3478 and presenting5307 my supplication8467 before6440 the LORD3068 my God430 for the holy6944 mountain2022 of my God;43021 Yea, whiles I was speaking1696 in prayer,8605 even the man376 Gabriel,1403 whom I had seen7200 in the vision2377 at the beginning,8462 being caused to fly3286 swiftly,3288{Heb. with weariness or flight} touched5060 me about the time6256 of the evening6153 oblation.450322 And he informed995me, and talked1696 with me, and said,559 O Daniel,1840 I am now come forth3318 to give thee skill7919 and understanding.998{Heb. to make thee skillful of understanding}23 At the beginning8462 of thy supplications8469 the commandment1697{Heb. word} came forth,3318 and I am come935 to shew5046thee; for thou art greatly beloved:2532{Heb. a man of desires} therefore understand995 the matter,1697 and consider995 the vision.475824 Seventy7657 weeks7620 are determined2852 upon thy people5971 and upon thy holy6944 city,5892 to finish3607{Or, to restrain} the transgression,6588 and to make an end85522856 of sins,2403 and to make reconciliation3722 for iniquity,5771 and to bring in935 everlasting5769 righteousness,6664 and to seal up2856 the vision2377 and prophecy,5030{Heb. prophet} and to anoint4886 the most6944 Holy.694425 Know3045 therefore and understand,7919that from the going forth4161 of the commandment1697 to restore7725 and to build1129 Jerusalem3389 unto the Messiah4899 the Prince5057shallbe seven7651 weeks,7620 and threescore8346 and two8147 weeks:7620 the street7339 shall be built1129 again,7725{Heb. shall return and be built} and the wall,2742{Or, breach or ditch} even in troublous6695 times.6256{Heb. in strait of times}26 And after310 threescore8346 and two8147 weeks7620 shall Messiah4899 be cut off,3772 but not for himself:{Or, shall have nothing} and the people5971 of the prince5057 that shall come935 shall destroy7843 the city5892 and the sanctuary;6944 and the end7093 thereof shallbe with a flood,7858 and unto the end7093 of the war4421 desolations8074 are determined.2782{Or, it shall be cut off by desolations}27 And he shall confirm1396 the covenant1285 with many7227 for one259 week:7620 and in the midst2677 of the week7620 he shall cause the sacrifice2077 and the oblation4503 to cease,7673 and for the overspreading3671 of abominations8251{Or, with the abominable armies} he shall make it desolate,8074 even until the consummation,3617 and that determined2782 shall be poured5413 upon the desolate.8074
