Daniel 8:13-17

Daniel's Vision of the Ram and the Goat

13 Then I heard r a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one who spoke, s "For how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, t the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled underfoot?" 14 And he said to me, 1 "For 2,300 u evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state."

The Interpretation of the Vision

15 When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I v sought to understand it. And behold, there stood before me one having w the appearance of a man. 16 x And I heard a man's voice x between the banks of the y Ulai, and it called, z "Gabriel, make this man understand the vision." 17 So he came near where I stood. And when he came, a I was frightened b and fell on my face. But he said to me, "Understand, c O son of man, that the vision is for d the time of the end."
