The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 8:2-15

Modes of supersensual vision. "I saw in a vision" ( Daniel 8:2 ); "Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint" ( Daniel 8:13 ); "Behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man" ( Daniel 8:15 ). Of the next vision, the time should be noted—two years after the last, Belshazzar still living; and the place , viz. Shushan. Daniel seems not to have been there in reality, but only in vision. So Ezekiel from Babylon was "brought in the visions of God to Jerusalem." This... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 8:3-22

Two world-empires. "The ram which thou sawest," etc. ( Daniel 8:20 , Daniel 8:21 ). The only way in which the substance of the vision can be legitimately treated seems to us the expository. But be it remembered that the exposition of a chapter like this is really an explication of the gradual unfolding of a part of the history of the kingdom of God antecedent to the Incarnation. We set up here simply directing-posts to mark the way. Note particularly the partial character of this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 8:9-25

The scourge of Israel. "He shall stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand" ( Daniel 8:25 ). As in the previous homily, we give a mere directive outline, for the help of those who may care to make the antichrist of the later Hebrew time the subject of treatment. The sketch given by the prophet undoubtedly applies to Antiochus Epiphanes. The only question has been raised by those who wish to throw discredit on the supernatural in prophecy, and who, struck... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 8:11

Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. This is said by Bevan to be the most difficult verse in this whole book. There is a difference here between the Q'ri and the K'thib. The latter reads הרים , the hiphil of רום , while the former reads הרם , the hophal of the same verb At first sight the difficulty is not lessened by consideration of the versions. The Septuagint as it at... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 8:12

And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered. The renderings of the LXX . and Theodotion are closely related, and both differ from the Massoretic text. The first is, "And the sins were upon the sacrifice, and righteousness was fallen to the earth, and he (or, it) did, and prospered." Theodotion renders, "And sin was placed (given) upon the sacrifice, and righteousness is fallen to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 8:11

Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host - Grotius, Ephraem the Syrian, and others, understand this of Onias the high priest, as the chief officer of the holy people. Lengerke supposes that it means God himself. This interpretation is the more probable; and the idea in the phrase “prince of the host” is, that as God is the ruler of the host of heaven - leading on the constellations, and marshalling the stars, so he may be regarded as the ruler of the holy army here below - the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 8:12

And a host was given him - The Vulgate renders this, “and strength - robur - was given him, etc.” Theodotion, “and sin was permitted - ἐδόθη edothē - against the sacrifice; and this righteousness was cast on the ground; so he acted and was prospered.” Luther renders it, “and such might (or power, macht) was given him.” The Syriac renders it, “and strength was given him, etc.” Bertholdt renders it, Statt jenes stellte man den Greuel auf, “instead of this (the temple) there was set up an... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 8:10-11

Daniel 8:10-11. And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven By the host of heaven, seems to be here meant the Jewish priesthood, so called from their continual attendance on God’s service in the temple, as the angels do in heaven. The word צבא , here rendered host, is applied to the attendants in the sanctuary, Exodus 38:8; Numbers 4:23. And it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground Persons of principal dignity and high offices are often called stars in the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 8:12

Daniel 8:12. And a host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression Antiochus prospered so far in his attempts against the Jews and their religion, that he built a citadel in the city of David, and placed a garrison of soldiers there, to disturb those that should come to worship God at the temple: see 1Ma 1:33-36 . This God permitted, as a just punishment for the sins of the people, and particularly of those who professed a willingness to forsake the worship of God,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Daniel 8:1-14

Vision of the ram and the goat (8:1-14)This vision is easier to understand than that of the previous chapter (which was given to Daniel two years earlier; cf. 7:1; 8:1). This is partly because of the interpretation given to Daniel, and partly because of ancient records that show a remarkable correspondence between details of the vision and events as they actually happened.It was now almost 550 BC, and though Babylon was still the dominant power in the region, Persia had now begun to challenge... read more
