Context
Gabriel Gives to Daniel a Prophecy of Seventy Weeks
9:20 While I was still speaking and praying , confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and presenting my request before the LORD my God concerning his holy mountain –
9:21 yes, while I was still praying , the man Gabriel , whom I had seen previously in a vision , was approaching me in my state of extreme weariness , around the time of the evening offering .
9:22 He spoke with me, instructing me as follows : “Daniel , I have now come to impart understanding to you.
9:23 At the beginning of your requests a message went out , and I have come to convey it to you, for you are of great value in God’s sight. Therefore consider the message and understand the vision :
9:24 “Seventy weeks have been determined concerning your people and your holy city to put an end to rebellion , to bring sin to completion , to atone for iniquity , to bring in perpetual righteousness , to seal up the prophetic vision , and to anoint a most holy place .
9:25 So know and understand : From the issuing of the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until an anointed one , a prince arrives, there will be a period of seven weeks and sixty-two weeks . It will again be built , with plaza and moat , but in distressful times .
9:26 Now after the sixty-two weeks , an anointed one will be cut off and have nothing . As for the city and the sanctuary , the people of the coming prince will destroy them. But his end will come speedily like a flood . Until the end of the war that has been decreed there will be destruction .
9:27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one week . But in the middle of that week he will bring sacrifices and offerings to a halt. On the wing of abominations will come one who destroys , until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys .”

NET Notes: Dan 9:23 This sentence is perhaps a compound hendiadys (“give serious consideration to the revelatory vision”).
