Daniel 10:2

2 En aquellos días, yo, Daniel, había estado en duelo durante tres semanas completas.

Daniel 10:2 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 10:2

In those days I Daniel was mourning
Either on account of what had been revealed to him in the last vision or prophecy of the seventy weeks; by which it appeared what wickedness the people of the Jews would be guilty of in cutting off the Messiah; and what desolations would come upon their land, city, and temple, for such usage of him: as also because of the present case of his people; many of them continuing in the country of Babylon, when they had liberty to return to their land: or because of the hinderance the Jews met with in rebuilding their city and temple, who had returned thither; of which Daniel had an account, and which caused him to mourn in secret: and so he continued three full weeks;
or, "three weeks of days" F3; so called, to distinguish them from weeks of years, mentioned in the preceding chapter.

Daniel 10:2 In-Context

1 En el año tercero de Ciro, rey de Persia, un mensaje fue revelado a Daniel, a quien llamaban Beltsasar. El mensaje era verdadero y acerca de un gran conflicto; él comprendió el mensaje y tuvo entendimiento de la visión.
2 En aquellos días, yo, Daniel, había estado en duelo durante tres semanas completas.
3 No comí manjar delicado ni entró en mi boca carne ni vino, ni usé unguento alguno, hasta que se cumplieron las tres semanas.
4 Y el día veinticuatro del primer mes, estando yo junto a la orilla del gran río, es decir, el Tigris ,
5 alcé los ojos y miré, y he aquí, había un hombre vestido de lino, cuya cintura estaba ceñida con un cinturón de oro puro de Ufaz.
