Compare all
10 aAnd it grew up to bthe host of heaven; and cit cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them.  
11 aHe even exalted himself as high as bthe Prince of the host; cand by him dthe daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of1 His sanctuary was cast down.  
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.”

Daniel 8:12

an host—rather, "the host was given up to him," that is, the holy people were given into his hands. So in Daniel 8:10 "the host" is used; and again in Daniel 8:13, where also "give" is used as here for "giving up" for destruction (compare Daniel 11:6) [MAURER].

against . . . daily sacrifice—rather (the host was given up for him to tread upon), "together with the daily sacrifice" (compare Daniel 8:13).

by reason of transgression—1 Maccabees 1:11-16 traces all the calamities suffered under Antiochus to the transgression of certain Jews who introduced heathen customs into Jerusalem just before. But transgression was not at the full (Daniel 8:23) under Antiochus; for Onias the high priest administered the laws in godliness at the time (2 Maccabees 3:1). Therefore the "transgression" must refer to that of the Jews hereafter restored to Palestine in unbelief.

the truth—the worship of the true God. Isaiah 59:14, "Truth is fallen in the street."

practised, and prospered—Whatever he undertook succeeded (Daniel 8:4; Daniel 11:28, Daniel 11:36).
