* And while I was speaking and praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel , and making my cry fall before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God . * And while I was setting my prayer in order , then the man Gabriel , whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning , touched me in my severe exhaustion about the time of the evening sacrifice . * And he enlightened me and talked with me , and said , O Daniel , I have now come out to give you skill in understanding . * At the beginning of your prayers the word came forth , and I have come to explain it . For you are greatly beloved . Then understand the matter and pay attention to the vision : * Seventy weeks are decreed as to your people , and as to your holy city , to finish the transgression , and to make an end of sins , and to make atonement for iniquity , and to bring in everlasting righteousness , and to seal up the vision and prophecy , and to anoint the Most Holy . * Know , then , and understand that from the going out of a word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem , to Messiah the Prince , shall be seven weeks and sixty two weeks . The street shall be built again , and the wall , even in times of affliction . * And after sixty two weeks , Messiah shall be cut off , but not for Himself . And the people of a coming prince shall destroy the city and the sanctuary . And its end shall be with the flood , and ruins are determined , and war shall be until the end . * And he shall confirm a covenant with the many for one week . And in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease . And on a wing of the altar will be abominations that desolate , even until the end . And that which was decreed shall pour out on the desolator .
