Daniel 8:13 — Meaning and Application

Yea, he magnified {himself} even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily {sacrifice} was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. {to: or, against} {by him: or, from him}

And an host was given {him} against the daily {sacrifice} by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered. {an host...: or, the host was given over for the transgression against the daily sacrifice}

Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain {saint} which spake, How long {shall be} the vision {concerning} the daily {sacrifice}, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? {that...: or, the numberer of secrets, or, the wonderful numberer: Heb. Palmoni} {of...: or, making desolate}

And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. {days: Heb. evening morning} {cleansed: Heb. justified}

And it came to pass, when I, {even} I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
