| Exegesis
of Daniel 8:13-14
In these verses Daniel’s
attention is directed to a conversation between two holy beings in the
heavenly realms. “They speak about the vision, particularly about the
horn’s attack upon the sanctuary” (both earthly and heavenly) “and
God’s people.”89 A
brief exegetical synopsis will be presented on verse 13 which will be
followed by an explanation of the audition in the context of the cultic
language used throughout the vision. The exposition will conclude with the
“thesis-antithesis” arrangement of verses 13 and 14 related to the
trampling and the cleansing or “putting right” (sadaq) the
sanctuary.
