1 | Why do translators identify 2 individals | Dan 9:27 | w123 | 14457 | ||
Why did the translators of the NASB and Amplified versions choose to separate the identity of the one who confirms the seven year covenant to the one who sets up the abomination? The NIV and the King James indicate that one person does both. | ||||||
2 | Why do translators identify 2 individals | Dan 9:27 | Searcher56 | 14467 | ||
Daniel 9:27b "And on a wing [of the temple] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him" (NIV). The King James Version says "and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." I think they are the same person. It is how the NIV is translated. I'll look more at it tonight. Steve |

Hi w123, I'm more of a 321 person but let me give you my view of the translations here. It is the age-old study of He and he or One and one. Daniel 9:26, "Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing (no one) or as NKJ (no one)"for Himself." The verse goes on to talk about the prince, the evil one, in the NASB. The NKJ for verse 27 introduces due to its literary style a confusing "He shall bring to an end" to go along with the "he shall confirm a covenant" in the beginning of the verse. You can see a similar confusing example of *He or he* when you look at Daniel 8:24 and 25. For we see that the true understanding is that "he will destroy mighty men and the holy people", and "he will cause deceit to succeed by his influence", and "he will even oppose the *Prince of princes." By the way, use your 123 and see if the prayer found in Daniel 9:4-20 is not divisible by three. |
