SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–12:13: Daniel saw a vision of an angelic man and the end of the age

In this long final vision, Daniel was told of events leading up to the end of the age.

Paragraph 12:9–13

In this paragraph the angelic figure encouraged Daniel to persevere. He promised that at the end of time God will resurrect and reward those who persevere in righteousness.

12:11a–c

And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation set up, there will be 1,290 days: This clause gives the beginning point for a certain time period. The time period is equal to about three and a half years. The significance of the number of days is uncertain, and it is best to translate the number literally. For example:

One thousand two hundred and ninety days will go by after the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up.

If it is not natural in your language to express such a number exactly, you may need to say something like:

The days of three and a half years will pass after the daily sacrifice is ended and the horrible sacrilege is set up

12:11a

And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished

From the time when the daily sacrifice is abolished
From the time when they stop offering the regular/continual burnt offering

And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished: The Hebrew verb that the BSB translates as is abolished literally means “is removed, is turned away.” The daily sacrifice was to be removed or abolished in the sense that it was no longer offered. This is probably primarily a reference to the action of Antiochus IV in 167 B.C. See the notes on 8:11–13, where this same action is described using different verbs.

This is a passive clause and there are at least two ways to translate it:

using a passive verb. For example:
From the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away (NRSV)
From the time that the daily sacrifice is removed (NET)
using an active verb with a general subject. For example:
from when they abolish the daily sacrifice

the daily sacrifice: This refers to the practice of offering a daily sacrifice. It does not refer to one specific sacrifice. So in some languages it may be natural to say:

the daily sacrifices

The same phrase is used to refer to the same sacrifices in 8:11b. Translate it here in the same way as you did there. For example:

the regular burnt offering (NRSV)

the regular offering (REB)

the set/regular offerings

12:11b

and the abomination of desolation set up,

and an abominable/disgusting object is set up, an object that causes destruction,
that is, from the time someone sets up in the Temple a pagan thing/idol that destroys everything,

and the abomination of desolation set up: Scholars agree that this is also a reference to the actions of Antiochus IV. He placed an altar to the pagan god Zeus in God’s Temple in Jerusalem, and pigs and other unclean animals were offered there. This is also a passive clause and there at least two ways to translate it:

using a passive verb. For example:
and the abomination that causes desolation is set in place (NET)
using an active verb. Try to use a general subject. For example:
they/men set up the abominable thing that causes desolation

Use the verb form that is most natural in your language in this context.

the abomination of desolation: See 9:27c, where the same phrase occurs in the plural form, and 11:31c. Translate this here as you did there. For example:

the abomination that makes desolate (ESV)

the disgusting thing that causes destruction (GW)

the desolating sacrilege (NRSVUE)

12:11c

there will be 1,290 days.

there will be one thousand, two hundred and ninety days.
1,290 days will pass.

there will be 1,290 days: The BSB has supplied the words there will be, which are not in the Hebrew text. The meaning is that 1,290 days would pass. You should supply the verb that is natural in your language. For example:

there are 1,290 days (NET)

1,290 days will pass (GNT)

1,290 days: This number of days represents three and a half years. However, it is recommended that you translate it literally. In some languages it may be natural to write out this large figure in words:

a thousand two hundred and ninety days (NJB)
