The Hebrew root for "carried out" is "qum," which means to establish or confirm. This highlights God's active role in history, ensuring that His words come to pass. Historically, this reflects the fulfillment of prophecies given to Israel, demonstrating that God's declarations are not idle but are executed with precision.that He spoke against us Here, the phrase underscores the direct communication from God to His people, often through prophets. The Hebrew word for "spoke" is "dabar," which implies a formal declaration. This indicates that the warnings given to Israel were not mere suggestions but authoritative pronouncements. The historical context involves the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where blessings and curses were clearly outlined in the Law (Deuteronomy 28).and against our rulers This phrase points to the accountability of leaders before God. The Hebrew term for "rulers" is "sar," which can refer to princes or officials. It highlights that those in authority are not exempt from God's judgment. Historically, Israel's leaders often led the nation into idolatry and disobedience, and thus they were specifically mentioned in the prophetic warnings.by bringing upon us a great disaster The "great disaster" refers to the severe consequences of Israel's disobedience, such as the Babylonian exile. The Hebrew word for "disaster" is "ra'ah," which can mean evil or calamity. This reflects the seriousness of turning away from God and the inevitable judgment that follows. Archaeologically, the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 586 BC serves as a tangible reminder of this fulfillment.under the whole heaven This phrase suggests the universality and visibility of the judgment. The Hebrew "tachat kol-hashamayim" implies that the disaster was not hidden but evident to all nations. This serves as a testimony to God's justice and power, reinforcing that His actions are not confined to a small region but are recognized globally.nothing like this has ever been done This emphasizes the unprecedented nature of the judgment. The phrase suggests that the calamity was unparalleled in its severity and impact. Historically, the fall of Jerusalem and the subsequent exile were indeed catastrophic events for the Jewish people, marking a significant turning point in their history.to Jerusalem Jerusalem, the city of God, holds a central place in biblical history. The mention of Jerusalem here underscores the gravity of the judgment, as it was the spiritual and political heart of Israel. The city's destruction symbolized the breaking of the covenant relationship due to persistent disobedience. Scripturally, Jerusalem is often seen as a microcosm of God's relationship with His people, making its judgment particularly poignant.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/daniel/9.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(12) Our judges.--Used in a wide sense to signify kings, princes, and rulers generally. (Comp. <a href="/hosea/7-7.htm" title="They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calls to me.">Hosea 7:7</a>.)<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/daniel/9.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 12. - And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us. and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem. The LXX. differs somewhat, "And he hath confirmed against us (ἔστησεν ἡμῖν) his words (προστάγματα), such as he spake against us, and against our judges, such great evils as thou didst adjudge us (ἔκρινας ἡμῖν), to bring upon us." The rest is farily in accordance with the Massoretic. It is clear that in the text before the LXX. translator the word was shephattanoo instead of shephatoonoo, that is to say, ת (tau) instead of ו (vav). These letters in earlier scripts were liable to be confounded. The meaning assigned to shaphat in this reading is unusual; but this is rather in favour of it being the true reading; and the return to the second person, while awkward, also has weight. Theodotion and the Peshitta do not call for remark. The use of the word "judges" for rulers generally ought to be noted. If we take the Massoretic reading, there may be a reminiscence of <a href="/2_kings/23-22.htm">2 Kings 23:22</a>. Among the Carthaginians the principal magistrates bore the title suffetes, equivalent to shopheteen. Under the whole heaven hath not been done as bath been done upon Jerusalem. Such language is to be regarded in any case as the exaggeration of grief; but it would have something like a justification twice in the history of Jerusalem, and only twice - after the capture of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, and after its capture by Titus. No one has maintained that the origin of Daniel is so late as the latter event; hence we are thrown back upon the former. With the fact before him that temples had been plundered everywhere, and desecrated, and cities sacked, the writer could not have regarded the case of Jerusalem, and its temple, in the days of Epiphanes, as unique under all heaven. After the capture of Jerusalem by. Nebuchadnezzar, the temple was left in rums and the city deserted. Such measure, so far as we know, was not meted out by Nebuchadnezzar to any other city. Only rarely had even the Ninevite monarchs taken such terrible vengeance on rebellious subjects. <a href="/commentaries/daniel/9-12.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>You have carried out וַיָּ֜קֶם (way·yā·qem) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6965.htm">Strong's 6965: </a> To arise, stand up, stand the words דְּבָר֣וֹ ׀ (də·ḇā·rōw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1697.htm">Strong's 1697: </a> A word, a matter, thing, a cause spoken דִּבֶּ֣ר (dib·ber) Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1696.htm">Strong's 1696: </a> To arrange, to speak, to subdue against עָלֵ֗ינוּ (‘ā·lê·nū) Preposition | first person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against us and against וְעַ֤ל (wə·‘al) Conjunctive waw | Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against our rulers שֹֽׁפְטֵ֙ינוּ֙ (šō·p̄ə·ṭê·nū) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural construct | first person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8199.htm">Strong's 8199: </a> To judge, pronounce sentence, to vindicate, punish, to govern, to litigate by bringing לְהָבִ֥יא (lə·hā·ḇî) Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go upon us עָלֵ֖ינוּ (‘ā·lê·nū) Preposition | first person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against a great גְדֹלָ֑ה (ḡə·ḏō·lāh) Adjective - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1419.htm">Strong's 1419: </a> Great, older, insolent disaster. רָעָ֣ה (rā·‘āh) Adjective - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7451.htm">Strong's 7451: </a> Bad, evil For under תַּ֚חַת (ta·ḥaṯ) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8478.htm">Strong's 8478: </a> The bottom, below, in lieu of all כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every of heaven, הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם (haš·šā·ma·yim) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8064.htm">Strong's 8064: </a> Heaven, sky nothing לֹֽא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no has ever been done נֶעֶשְׂתָ֖ה (ne·‘eś·ṯāh) Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make like what אֲשֶׁ֣ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that has been done נֶעֶשְׂתָ֗ה (ne·‘eś·ṯāh) Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make to Jerusalem. בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ (bî·rū·šā·lim) Preposition-b | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3389.htm">Strong's 3389: </a> Jerusalem -- probably 'foundation of peace', capital city of all Israel <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/daniel/9-12.htm">Daniel 9:12 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/daniel/9-12.htm">Daniel 9:12 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/daniel/9-12.htm">Daniel 9:12 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/daniel/9-12.htm">Daniel 9:12 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/daniel/9-12.htm">Daniel 9:12 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/daniel/9-12.htm">Daniel 9:12 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/daniel/9-12.htm">Daniel 9:12 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/daniel/9-12.htm">Daniel 9:12 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/daniel/9-12.htm">Daniel 9:12 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/daniel/9-12.htm">Daniel 9:12 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/daniel/9-12.htm">OT Prophets: Daniel 9:12 He has confirmed his words which he (Dan.
