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 ²⁵And 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.”
