NASB | Daniel 9:27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Daniel 9:27 "And he will enter into a binding and irrevocable covenant with the many for one week (seven years), but in the middle of the week he will stop the sacrifice and grain offering [for the remaining three and one-half years]; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until the complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who causes the horror." |
Bible Question: 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. |
Bible Answer: 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 |
