Rev. 1. 17.

13 T Then I heard "one saint speaking, and another saint said unto 23 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?

14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred ' days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. 15 ¶ 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. 16 And I heard a man's voice a between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

DANIEL, XI.

2 In those days I Daniel was mourning three 2 full weeks.

3 I ate no 3pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, *neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

4 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;

5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:

6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face mas the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, Pand the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

7 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.

г

8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my 5 s comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.

9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: tand when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.

10 And, behold, an hand touched me, which 'set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.

11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, X 7 a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.

12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself z ch. 9. 3, 4, before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
