1.2 KiB
General Information:
The man in Daniel's vision continues talking to Daniel. Most of the text of verses 23-27 is symbolic language. For this reason, the ULB presents them in poetic form. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-symlanguage)
He will speak words against the Most High
This means that the newest king will openly disagree with and say bad things about the Most High. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
He will try ... into his hand
The words "He" and "his" refer to the newest king, not the Most High.
the holy people
"God's holy people"
change the festivals and the law
Both terms refer to the law of Moses. The festivals were an important part of the religion of Israel in the Old Testament.
These things will be given into his hand
Here "his hand" refers to his control. This can be stated in active form. AT: "The newest king will control the religous festivals and laws" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
one year, two years, and half a year
This means "three and half years." This is not the normal way the Israelites counted. Try to translate it in a way that preserves this way of counting. AT: "one year plus two years plus six months"
