1.1 KiB
Seventy sevens ... seven sevens ... and sixty-two sevens
This is not the normal way the Israelites counted. If possible, try to translate in a way that preserves this use of the number seven. AT: "Seventy times seven years ... seven times seven years ... and sixty-two times seven years"
Know and understand
These words are used together to make the importance clear. AT: "You must clearly understand" or "You must know for sure" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)
the anointed one
Anointing is a symbolic act to show that someone is chosen. AT: "the person that God anoints" or "the person that God chooses" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction)
seven sevens ... and sixty-two sevens
These added together are 69 of the 70 sevens spoken of in verse 24.
Jerusalem will be rebuilt
This can be stated in active form. AT: "People will rebuild Jerusalem" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
moat
a deep ditch around a city or building, usually with water in it
