Compare all
12 Because of transgression, aan army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast btruth down to the ground. He cdid all this and prospered.  
13 Then I heard aa holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, “How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression1 of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?”  
14 And he said to me, “For two thousand three hundred1 days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.”  

Gabriel Interprets the Vision

15 Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision and awas seeking the meaning, that suddenly there stood before me bone having the appearance of a man.  
16 And I heard a man’s voice abetween the banks of the Ulai, who called, and said, b“Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”

Daniel 8:14

Unto two thousand and three hundred days - Though literally it be two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings. Yet I think the prophetic day should be understood here, as in other parts of this prophet, and must signify so many years. If we date these years from the vision of the he-goat, (Alexander' s invading Asia), this was A.M. 3670, b.c. 334; and two thousand three hundred years from that time will reach to a.d. 1966, or one hundred and forty-one years from the present a.d. 1825. This will bring it near to the time mentioned Daniel 7:25 (note), where see the note.
