The Seventy Weeks

24 ⁱ“Seventy weeks¹ are decreed about your people and ^jyour holy city, to finish ^kthe transgression, to put an end to sin, ^land to atone for iniquity, ^mto bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and ⁿto anoint a most holy place.² 25 ^oKnow therefore and understand that ^pfrom the going out of the word to restore and ^qbuild Jerusalem to the coming of an ^ranointed one, a ^sprince, there shall be seven weeks. And for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again³ with squares and moat, ^tbut in a troubled time. 26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall ^ube cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come ^vshall destroy the city and the sanctuary. ^wIts⁴ end shall come with a flood, ^xand to the end there shall be war. ^yDesolations are decreed. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week,⁵ and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. ^zAnd on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until ^athe decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”

31 Forces from him shall appear and ^fprofane the temple and fortress, and shall take away the regular burnt offering. And ^gthey shall set up the abomination that makes desolate.

11 And from the time that ^zthe regular burnt offering is taken away and ^athe abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days.
