This passage speaks of 70 weeks that have been declared against “your people.” Daniel's people are the Jews, the nation of Israel, and Daniel 9:24 speaks of a period of time that God has given “to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy.” God declares that “seventy sevens” will fulfill all these things.
Ukurasa huu unazungumzia juu ya majuma 70 ambayo yametangazwa kunyume na “watu wako.” Watu wa Danieli ni Wayahudi, taifa la Isreli, na Danieli 9:24 yazungumzia kipindi cha muda ambao Mungu amepeana “kumaliza uazi wote, kuweka kikomo dhambi, kutoa utakazo wa uovu wote, kuleta utakatifu wa milele, kutia muhuri maono na unabii na kutia mafuta yeye aliye matakatifu wa watakatifu.” Bwana Mungu asema, “sabini na saba” itatimiza mambo haya yote.
