The Seventy Weeks
24 1“Seventy weeks are decreed about your people and
2your holy city, to finish
3the transgression, to put an end to sin,
4and to atone for iniquity,
5to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and
6to anoint a most holy place.
25
7Know therefore and understand that
8from the going out of the word to restore and
9build Jerusalem to the coming of an
10anointed one, a
11prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat,
12but in a troubled time.
26
And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall
13be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come
14shall destroy the city and the sanctuary.
15Its end shall come with a flood,
16and to the end there shall be war.
17Desolations are decreed.
27
And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering.
18And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until
19the decreed end is poured out on the desolator. ”
