12 And the host was given over by reason of the prevarication upon the daily sacrifice; and he cast the truth to the ground; and he did whatever he would and prospered.
13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto the one which spoke, How long shall the vision of the daily sacrifice last and the prevarication of desolation that places both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days of evening and morning; then shall the sanctuary be justified.
15 And it came to pass, as I, Daniel, was considering the vision and seeking to understand it, behold, there stood before me the likeness of a man.
16 And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called and said, Gabriel, teach this man the vision.
17 So he came near where I stood, and with his coming, I was afraid and fell upon my face; and he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time appointed by God the vision shall be fulfilled.
18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep on the ground upon my face; and he touched me and changed my state.
