Daniel 9:22

The Seventy-Weeks Prophecy

20 Now while I was speaking, praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God for the holy mountain of my God,

21 yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man ^aGabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning,¹ being caused to fly swiftly, reached me about the time of the evening offering.

22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, “O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand.

23 At the beginning of your supplications the¹ command went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly ^abeloved; therefore ^bconsider the matter, and understand the vision:

24 “Seventy¹ weeks are determined
For your people and for your holy city,
To finish the transgression,
¹To make an end of sins,
^aTo make reconciliation for iniquity,
^bTo bring in everlasting righteousness,
To seal up vision and prophecy,
^cAnd to anoint¹ the Most Holy.

25 “Know the¹refore and understand,
That from the going forth of the command
To restore and build Jerusalem
Until ^aMessiah ^bthe Prince,
There shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;
The street shall be built again, and the² wall,
Even in troublesome times.
