Notes

Daniel 9:12

God sending Israel into exile for breaking his covenant was a unique historical event. Israel's exodus from Egypt, their exile, and their return from Babylon remain unmatched (see also Jeremiah 29:10).

Daniel 9:7–14

To You, O Lord, belongs righteousness: God planned the exile to judge unfaithful Israel (Daniel 9:11–14). God had warned them many times that it would occur (see Deuteronomy 28:36–37, 49–68).

Daniel 9:1–19

Daniel prayed for his people, knowing that Jerusalem's seventy years of desolation were about to end. His prayer is similar to those of:

Solomon (1 Kings 8:14–61),
Ezra (Ezra 9), and
Nehemiah (Nehemiah 9).

God answered Daniel's prayer quickly (see study note on Daniel 9:19; see also Daniel 9:20–27).
