In the context of <a href="/daniel/9.htm">Daniel 9</a>, Daniel is interceding for his people during the Babylonian exile, a period of punishment for their disobedience to God. The confession of sin is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, seen in passages like <a href="/leviticus/26-40.htm">Leviticus 26:40-42</a> and <a href="/nehemiah/1-6.htm">Nehemiah 1:6-7</a>, where acknowledging wrongdoing is the first step toward restoration. The Hebrew words for "sinned" and "done wrong" emphasize both the moral failure and the breach of covenant with God.<p><b>We have acted wickedly and rebelled</b><br>This phrase highlights the severity of Israel's actions against God. "Wickedly" suggests intentional wrongdoing, while "rebelled" indicates a deliberate turning away from God's authority. This rebellion is reminiscent of Israel's history of idolatry and disobedience, as seen in the narratives of the Judges and Kings. The rebellion against God is a central theme in the prophetic books, where prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah call the people back to faithfulness. This rebellion is also a type of humanity's general rebellion against God, which is ultimately addressed through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.<p><b>We have turned away from Your commandments and ordinances</b><br>This phrase underscores the specific nature of Israel's disobedience: a failure to adhere to God's laws. The "commandments and ordinances" refer to the Torah, the law given to Moses, which was meant to guide Israel in righteousness and justice. Turning away from these laws led to social injustice, idolatry, and ultimately exile. This turning away is a recurring issue in Israel's history, as seen in the books of Kings and Chronicles. The call to return to God's commandments is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus summarizes the law as love for God and neighbor (<a href="/matthew/22-37.htm">Matthew 22:37-40</a>), and Paul emphasizes the law's fulfillment in Christ (<a href="/romans/8-3.htm">Romans 8:3-4</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/daniel.htm">Daniel</a></b><br>A prophet and a man of prayer, Daniel is interceding for his people, acknowledging their collective sin before God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation of Israel, God's chosen people, who have repeatedly turned away from God's commandments and are now in exile.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/b/babylon.htm">Babylon</a></b><br>The place of exile for the Israelites, where Daniel is living and praying.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The sovereign Lord to whom Daniel is praying, acknowledging His righteousness and the people's sin.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>The holy city, which is central to Daniel's prayer as he seeks restoration for his people and their return to their homeland.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/a/acknowledgment_of_sin.htm">Acknowledgment of Sin</a></b><br>Daniel's prayer begins with a confession of sin, highlighting the importance of recognizing and admitting our wrongdoings before God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/collective_responsibility.htm">Collective Responsibility</a></b><br>Daniel includes himself in the confession, teaching us about the importance of communal responsibility and intercession for others.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/turning_away_from_god.htm">Turning Away from God</a></b><br>The verse emphasizes the danger of turning away from God's commandments, reminding us to stay faithful to His Word.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_prayer_in_repentance.htm">The Role of Prayer in Repentance</a></b><br>Daniel's prayer is a model for how we should approach God in repentance, with humility and sincerity.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_righteousness_and_mercy.htm">God's Righteousness and Mercy</a></b><br>While acknowledging sin, Daniel also trusts in God's righteousness and mercy, encouraging us to seek God's forgiveness with confidence in His character.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_daniel_9.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Daniel 9</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_'finger_of_god'_mean.htm">What does the Bible say about confessing sin?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/who_was_judah_in_the_bible.htm">Is the Corporate Confession of Sin biblically supported?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/non-biblical_proof_of_exiles_via_prayer.htm">2 Chronicles 6:36–39: The passage implies exiles and restorations happen in response to prayer and repentance; is there non-biblical documentation of these exiles clearly following that pattern? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_original_sin_align_with_accountability.htm">How does the concept of original sin in Genesis 3 align with teachings on personal accountability in later Scriptures?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/daniel/9.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(5) <span class= "bld">We have sinned.--</span>It has been remarked that four stages of sin are pointed out by the prophet, corresponding to the four different words which he uses. "Sin" refers especially to sins of deed, "committing iniquity" to sins of word, "done wickedly" to sins of thought, "rebelled" implies the person against whom the sin has been committed. The whole result of sin under these several aspects is expressed by the words "departing from Thy precepts."<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/daniel/9.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 5.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments.</span> While otherwise close, neither of the Greek versions retains the change of construction before the last clause, which is exhibited in the English versions. The Peshitta fails in this way ale, but uses participles all through. This verso has a strong resemblance to <a href="/nehemiah/1-6.htm">Nehemiah 1:6, 7</a>, only in Nehemiah there is more elaboration and all the signs of a later development. There is a climax here from simple sin to rebellion; at the same time, this heaping up of terms so nearly synonymous is more liturgic than literary; these words may have been used in the synagogue service in Babylon. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/daniel/9-5.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">we have sinned</span><br /><span class="heb">חָטָ֥אנוּ</span> <span class="translit">(ḥā·ṭā·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2398.htm">Strong's 2398: </a> </span><span class="str2">To miss, to sin, to forfeit, lack, expiate, repent, lead astray, condemn</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and done wrong.</span><br /><span class="heb">וְעָוִ֖ינוּ</span> <span class="translit">(wə·‘ā·wî·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - first person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5753.htm">Strong's 5753: </a> </span><span class="str2">To bend, twist</span><br /><br /><span class="word">We have acted wickedly</span><br /><span class="heb">הִרְשַׁ֣עְנוּ</span> <span class="translit">(hir·ša‘·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Hifil - Perfect - first person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7561.htm">Strong's 7561: </a> </span><span class="str2">To be, wrong, to disturb, violate</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and rebelled.</span><br /><span class="heb">וּמָרָ֑דְנוּ</span> <span class="translit">(ū·mā·rā·ḏə·nū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - first person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4775.htm">Strong's 4775: </a> </span><span class="str2">To rebel</span><br /><br /><span class="word">We have turned away</span><br /><span class="heb">וְס֥וֹר</span> <span class="translit">(wə·sō·wr)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Infinitive absolute<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5493.htm">Strong's 5493: </a> </span><span class="str2">To turn aside</span><br /><br /><span class="word">from Your commandments</span><br /><span class="heb">מִמִּצְוֺתֶ֖ךָ</span> <span class="translit">(mim·miṣ·wō·ṯe·ḵā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-m | Noun - feminine plural construct | second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4687.htm">Strong's 4687: </a> </span><span class="str2">Commandment</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and ordinances.</span><br /><span class="heb">וּמִמִּשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ׃</span> <span class="translit">(ū·mim·miš·pā·ṭe·ḵā)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw, Preposition-m | Noun - masculine plural construct | second person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4941.htm">Strong's 4941: </a> </span><span class="str2">A verdict, a sentence, formal decree, divine law, penalty, justice, privilege, style</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/daniel/9-5.htm">Daniel 9:5 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/daniel/9-5.htm">Daniel 9:5 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/daniel/9-5.htm">Daniel 9:5 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/daniel/9-5.htm">Daniel 9:5 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/daniel/9-5.htm">Daniel 9:5 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/daniel/9-5.htm">Daniel 9:5 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/daniel/9-5.htm">Daniel 9:5 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/daniel/9-5.htm">Daniel 9:5 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/daniel/9-5.htm">Daniel 9:5 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/daniel/9-5.htm">Daniel 9:5 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/daniel/9-5.htm">OT Prophets: Daniel 9:5 We have sinned and have dealt perversely (Dan.
