Daniel 9:21–27

²¹And I was still speaking in prayer, and the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision previously,^w in my weariness touched me^x at the time of the evening offering. ²²And he instructed me and he spoke with me and he said, “Daniel I have now come out^y to teach you understanding. ²³At the beginning of your pleas for mercy, a word went out, and now I have come to declare^z it, for you are highly esteemed, and so consider the word and understand the vision.

The Seventy Sets of Seven Detailed

²⁴“Seventy weeks is decreed for your people and for your holy city,^a to put an end to the transgression and to seal up sin^b and to make atonement for guilt and to bring in everlasting righteousness and to seal vision and prophet and to anoint the most holy place.^{c 25}And you must know and you must understand^d that from the time of the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem until an anointed^e one—a leader—will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks;^f it will be restored and will be built with streets and a moat, but in a time of oppression.^g

²⁶“And after the sixty and two weeks an anointed one^h shall be cut off, and he shall have nothing,ⁱ and the people of the coming leader will destroy the city and the sanctuary,^j and its end will be with the flood and on to the end there shall be war; these desolations are determined. ²⁷And he will make a strong covenant with the many for one week, but in half of the week he will let cease sacrifice and offering and in its place^k a desolating abomination comes even until the determined complete destruction^l is poured out on the desolator.”
