And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days;
then shall the
sanctuary be cleansed.
Daniel 8:14
"The Hebrew words translated “days” in Daniel 8:14 are ‛ereb and bôqer. The word ‛ereb means “dusk” and is often translated “night, even, evening, evening tide and days.” The second word, bôqer, means “dawn, break of day, morning” and is often translated, “morning, marrow, early and day.” So generally the words ‛ereb and bôqer mean evening and morning. This is awfully similar to what we find in Genesis 1. Take a look:
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening (‛ereb) and the morning (bôqer) were the first day. Genesis 1:5Notice that the combination of the evening and morning, or the ‛ereb and the bôqer, make up the “yom” which is the Hebrew word translated as “day." ADL
And of course, in Bible prophecy a day =a year. Some try and deny that the 2300 "days" are "days" & that the 2300 "days" are therefore not years--which clearly the 2300 "days" are "days" and prophetically = years.
