24
"Seventy 'sevens'a are decreed for your people and your holy city1 to finishb transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone2 for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness,3 to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy.c25
"Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decreed to restore and rebuild4 Jerusalem until the Anointed One,e5 the ruler,6 comes, there will be seven 'sevens,' and sixty-two 'sevens.' It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.726
After the sixty-two 'sevens,' the Anointed One will be cut off8 and will have nothing.f The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood:9 War will continue until the end, and desolations10 have been decreed.1127
He will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.'g In the middle of the 'seven'h he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed12 is poured out on him.i "j
