Discovery BoxDaniel 11:18 
Context11:18 Then he will turn his attention 1 to the coastal regions and will capture many of them. But a commander 2 will bring his shameful conduct to a halt; in addition, 3 he will make him pay for his shameful conduct. 4
Daniel 9:27
Context9:27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one week. 5
But in the middle of that week
he will bring sacrifices and offerings to a halt.
On the wing 6 of abominations will come 7 one who destroys,
until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys.”
1 tn Heb “his face.” See v. 19 as well.
2 sn The commander is probably the Roman commander, Lucius Cornelius Scipio.
3 tn The Hebrew here is difficult in that the negative בִּלְתִּי (biltiy, “not”) is used in an unusual way. The sense is not entirely clear.
4 tn Heb “his shameful conduct he will return to him.”
5 tn Heb “one seven” (also later in this line).
6 tn The referent of the Hebrew word כְּנַף (kÿnaf, “wing”) is unclear here. The LXX and Theodotion have “the temple.” Some English versions (e.g., NAB, NIV) take this to mean “a wing of the temple,” but this is not clear.
7 tn The Hebrew text does not have this verb, but it has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
