³⁴ According to the ^(A)number of days which you spied out the land, forty days, for every day you shall bear your ^[a]guilt a year, even forty years, and you will know My opposition.

Seventy Weeks and the Messiah

²⁴ “Seventy ^[a](A)weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to ^[b]finish the transgression, to ^[c]make an end of sin, to ^(B)make atonement for iniquity, to bring in ^(C)everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and ^[d]prophecy and to anoint the most holy place. ²⁵ So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a ^[e](D)decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until ^[f](E)Messiah the ^(F)Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with ^[g]plaza and moat, even in times of distress. ²⁶ Then after the sixty-two weeks the ^[h]Messiah will be ^(G)cut off and have ^[i]nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will ^(H)destroy the city and the sanctuary. And ^[j]its end will come with a ^(I)flood; even to the end ^[k]there will be war; desolations are determined.

¹¹ From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the ^[a](A)abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. ¹² How ^(B)blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the ^(C)1,335 days!

^2 [a]Leave out the ^(A)court which is outside the ^[b]temple and do not measure it, for ^(B)it has been given to the nations; and they will ^(C)tread under foot ^(D)the holy city for ^(E)forty-two months. ³ And I will grant authority to my two ^(F)witnesses, and they will prophesy for ^(G)twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in ^(H)sackcloth.”
