Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Daniel 8:12

_ _ an host — rather, “the host was given up to him,” that is, the holy people were given into his hands. So in Daniel 8:10 “the host” is used; and again in Daniel 8:13, where also “give” is used as here for “giving up” for destruction (compare Daniel 11:6) [Maurer].

_ _ against ... daily sacrifice — rather (the host was given up for him to tread upon), “together with the daily sacrifice” (compare Daniel 8:13).

_ _ by reason of transgression — 1 Maccabees 1:11-16 traces all the calamities suffered under Antiochus to the transgression of certain Jews who introduced heathen customs into Jerusalem just before. But transgression was not at the full (Daniel 8:23) under Antiochus; for Onias the high priest administered the laws in godliness at the time (2 Maccabees 3:1). Therefore the “transgression” must refer to that of the Jews hereafter restored to Palestine in unbelief.

_ _ the truth — the worship of the true God. Isaiah 59:14, “Truth is fallen in the street.”

_ _ practiced, and prospered — Whatever he undertook succeeded (Daniel 8:4; Daniel 11:28, Daniel 11:36).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Daniel 8:1-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Daniel 8:12

By reason of transgression — Both the transgression of the priests, and of the people.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

(s) He shows that their sins are the cause of these horrible afflictions: and yet comforts them, in that he appoints this tyrant for a time, whom he would not allow to utterly abolish his religion.

(t) This horn will abolish for a time the true doctrine, and so corrupt God's service.
