9:11 “All Israel has broken 1 your law and turned away by not obeying you. 2 Therefore you have poured out on us the judgment solemnly threatened 3 in the law of Moses the servant of God, for we have sinned against you. 4
9:27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one week. 5
But in the middle of that week
he will bring sacrifices and offerings to a halt.
On the wing 6 of abominations will come 7 one who destroys,
until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys.”
1 tn Or “transgressed.” The Hebrew verb has the primary sense of crossing a boundary, in this case, God’s law.
2 tn Heb “by not paying attention to your voice.”
3 tn Heb “the curse and the oath which is written.” The term “curse” refers here to the judgments threatened in the Mosaic law (see Deut 28) for rebellion. The expression “the curse and the oath” is probably a hendiadys (cf. Num 5:21; Neh 10:29) referring to the fact that the covenant with its threatened judgments was ratified by solemn oath and made legally binding upon the covenant community.
4 tn Heb “him.”
5 tn Heb “one seven” (also later in this line).
6 tn The referent of the Hebrew word כְּנַף (kÿnaf, “wing”) is unclear here. The LXX and Theodotion have “the temple.” Some English versions (e.g., NAB, NIV) take this to mean “a wing of the temple,” but this is not clear.
7 tn The Hebrew text does not have this verb, but it has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
