Daniel 8:9–14

THE LITTLE HORN

9 From one of them a little hornz emerged and grew extensively toward the south and the east and toward the beautiful land.B,aa 10 It grew as high as the heavenly army, made some of the army and some of the starsC fall to the earth,ab and trampled them.ac 11 It acted arrogantlyad even against the Prince of the heavenly army;ae it revoked his regular sacrificeaf and overthrew the place of his sanctuary. 12 In the rebellion, the army was given up, together with the regular sacrifice. The horn threw truth to the ground and was successfulag in what it did.

13 Then I heard a holy one speaking,ah and another holy one said to the speaker, “How long will the events of this vision lastai—the regular sacrifice, the rebellion that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and of the army to be trampled?”aj

14 He said to me,D “For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be restored.”
