An Interpretive
Textual Summary
As we have seen, a
correct and accurate interpretation the Seventy Weeks prophecy in Dan 9:24-27
greatly depended on an accurate translation of the text itself. This was
achieved by simply translating the key Hebrew expression literally and then
taking into consideration the relationships that exist between words within a
sentence as dictated by the rules of Hebrew Syntax. Then the accuracy of these
translation was verified with their particular historical fulfillment. The
following footnoted translation of Dan 9:24-27 serves as a textual summary for
each prophetic statement in the prophecy. The references for these translations
and their historical fulfillment has been given in the notes.
