Dear Fred:

Daniel 8:11 does not speak about DAILY SACRIFICES. It speaks about TAMID. 
The expression is (forgive my lack of familiarity with the tranliteration 
conventions of the forum): "VA MIMENU TAMID" which I would translate 
literally "AND FROM HIM WAS TAKEN AWAY/SEPARATED TAMID." A search  on the 
word TAMID ( I use BibleWorks for my Hebrew OT and Greek NT research) shows 
that the word TAMID refers to ALL ASPECTS OF THE SANCTUARY SERVICE. Here is 
my selection of the most pertinent passage where TAMID is used in the OT:

THE TAMID


Search on the word TAMID indicated that the Hebrew term occurs in the Hebrew 
Old Testament  (BHS 4th edition) in ONE FORM in 103 VERSES with a total of

As not all texts are related to the Sanctuary Service ( you can personally 
verify with a Hebrew concordance of the Old Testament), I selected from all 
these texts 43 that have direct bearing on the work in the Sanctuary. I am 
listing these texts below, indicating the Sanctuary service to which the 
TAMID refers in these texts. Let me begin with a BDB (Brown-Driver-Briggs 
Lexicon) definition of the term TAMID. I transliterated into English the 
Hebrew word because this e-mail will not be able to support the Hebrew 
characters, and abbreviated the definition for our purposes:


TAMID: particle; adverb
TAMID:  (noun masculine): CONTINUITY. 1. earliest and oftenest as adv., 
continually: a. of going on without interruption = continuously. b. of 
regular repetition: meals; journeys; of ritual: sacrifice. 2. as subst.: a. 
of uninterrupted continuity b. of regular repetition , i.e. a regular 
allowance; esp. of ritual; most often every morning, morning and evening, 
so; as appos., meal-offering as a regular observance. c. (late)alone = daily 
(morning and evening) burnt-offering.

HATAMID – TAKEN AWAY, REMOVED

NIV Daniel 8:13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said

KJV Daniel 12:11 And from the time that THE DAILY SACRIFICE (TAMID) SHALL BE 
TAKEN AWAY, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be 
A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY DAYS.


A summary of the Sanctuary work that is described under the term TAMID is as 
follows:

SHOWBREAD (Exodus 25:30), THE LAMP (Exodus 27:20), THE BREASTPLATE (Exodus 
28:29), THE PLATE (Exodus 28:36), THE MORNING AND EVENING LAMB AND FLOUR 
OFFERING (Exodus 29:38), THE INCENSE (Exodus 30: ), THE ALTAR FIRE 
(Leviticus 6:12), THE FLOUR OFFERING (Leviticus 6:20), THE BURNING LAMP 
(EVENING-MORNING) (Leviticus 24:2), THE BREAD (Leviticus 24:5), THE BREAD 
(Numbers 4:7), THE DAILY  (MORNING and EVENING) OFFERING) (Numbers 4:16) THE 
LAMBS (Numbers 28:3), THE LAMBS AND THE FLOUR (Numbers 28:3), THE SABBATH 
BURNT OFFERING (Numbers 28:10), THE TRUMPETS (1 Chronicles 16:6), THE 
CONTINUAL PRIESTLY MINISTRY  (1 Chronicles 16:37), THE CONTINUAL PRIESTLY 
MINISTRY (1 Chronicles 23:30), THE CONTINUAL BREAD AND BURNT OFFERINGS  (2 
Chronicles 2:4), THE CONTINUAL BURNT OFFERINGS (Ezra 3:5 ), THE CONTINUAL 
BREAD AND OFFERINGS ( Nehemiah 10:33 ), THE CONTINUAL SACRIFICE OFFERING 
(Ezekiel 46:14 ), THE CONTINUAL SACRIFICE OFFERING (Ezekiel 46:15 ).



As can be seen from the above list of Old Testament texts, the term TAMID 
covers THE
ENTIRE SANCTUARY SERVICE which was CONTINUAL, UNINTERRUPTED, 24 HOURS A DAY, 
SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, 365 DAYS A YEAR. You have noticed also that some texts 
speak of the MORNING-EVENING SERVICE, while other texts speak of the 
EVENING-MORNING SERVICE. The LAMB AND FLOUR offerings were taking place FROM 
MORNING TO EVENING (Exodus 29:38; Numbers 4:16; 28:3), the INCENSE and the 
FIRE ON THE ALTAR were burning AROUND THE CLOCK (Exodus 30:7-8; Leviticus 
6:12), The lamp was burning from EVENING TO MORNING (Exodus 27:20;), the 
BREAD was present ALL THE TIME (Leviticus 24:5; Numbers 4:7), the priests 
were called to minister before the ark CONTINUALLY (1 Chronicles 16:37; 
23:30), the burnt offerings were BURNING AROUND THE CLOCK on the altar 
(Ezekiel 46:15).

The best way to describe THE SANCTUARY SERVICE is with the word TAMID 
(CONTINUAL), because the work at the sanctuary was taking place IN 
PERPETUITY, never INTERRUPTING, never CEASING.

Different passages in Daniel also speak of the REMOVAL of the TAMID:  TAKEN 
AWAY (Daniel 8: 11), TAKEN AWAY (Daniel 8:12 ), TAKEN AWAY( Daniel 8:13 ) 
TAKEN AWAY (Daniel 11:31), TAKEN AWAY (Daniel 12:11), and about its 
RESTORATION: RESTORED (Daniel 8:14).

What could MEAN that the TAMID was TAKEN AWAY by the LITTLE HORN of Daniel 
7: 8 and 8:9? Nothing less than the INTERRUPTION of the Sanctuary Service, 
the SHUTTING DOWN of the Sanctuary. According to the prophet Daniel’s vision 
in Chapter 8, the LITTLE HORN TOOK AWAY THE TAMID, that is, SHUT DOWN THE 
SANCTUARY.

The bewildered and shocked prophet was also told that that at the end of 
2300 EVENINGS-MORNINGS the TAMID was going to be RESTORED, that is, the 
SANCTUARY SERVICE WAS GOING TO BE REINSTATED AND RESUMED. The CONTEXT of 
Daniel 8:9-14, makes it clear that the SUBJECT of the PASSAGE was not 
PROPHETIC TIME PERIODS, but the SANCTUARY SERVICE which had been SHUT DOWN, 
and was going to be restored at the end of 2300 SANCTUARY EVENING-MORNINGS, 
WHICH ARE LITERAL SANCTUARY DAYS.


******

An objection was made concerning the "bread of the presence" or the 
"swewbread." It is true that this bread was replaced EVERY WEEK, but the 
fact is that there was never a time in the sactuary service when this bread 
was not CONTINUALLY, that is ,TAMID,  before the Lord.

As you noticed, most of the texts speak of the morning-evening, but there 
are also texts that speak of the evening-morning. These texts do not 
represent THE EXCEPTION, but they are part of the TAMID, the CONTINUOUS, 
UNITERRUPTED SERVICE in the Sanctuary. IN ALL, the service in the sanctuary 
went AROUND THE CLOCK, that is TAMID.

Daniel 8:11 speaks of the TAKING AWAY OF THE TAMID, while Daniel 8:14 speaks 
about the RESTAURATION OF THE TAMID. From the context, it is clear that what 
is restored after 2300 evening-mornings is the TAMID, the temple service 
which was shut down by the little horn. I therefore believe that in the 
discourse context of Daniel 8:9-14 TAMID and EREB-BOQUER talk about the same 
thing or are SYNONYMOUS.

Eduard,

It appears that each of the examples you gave below are using the order of
evening - morning to refer specifically to the night, which would make
sense, but doesn't seem to apply to what Rosangela was saying, which was
that evening - morning is not used to refer to the daily sacrifice.  Do you
have any examples where evening - morning is used in reference to the daily
sacrifice?

Hello!

You state:

"It is interesting to note that, while in Genesis, referring to the days of
Creation, the order is evening - morning, the order of the words when
referring to sacrifices is morning - evening."

This is not always true concerning the temple service. Here are some texts:

NIV Exodus 27:21 In the Tent of Meeting, outside the curtain that is in
front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning
before the LORD from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance
among the Israelites for the generations to come.

NIV Leviticus 24:3 Outside the curtain of the Testimony in the Tent of
Meeting, Aaron is to tend the lamps before the LORD from evening till
morning, continually. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations
to come.

NIV Numbers 9:15 On the day the tabernacle, the Tent of the Testimony, was
set up, the cloud covered it. From evening till morning the cloud above the
tabernacle looked like fire.

NIV Numbers 9:21 Sometimes the cloud stayed only from evening till morning,
and when it lifted in the morning, they set out. Whether by day or by night,
whenever the cloud lifted, they set out.

NIV Deuteronomy 16:4 Let no yeast be found in your possession in all your
land for seven days. Do not let any of the meat you sacrifice on the evening
of the first day remain until morning.


Also, note that the Septuagint and the Theodotion are SUPPLYING the word
"day," which cannot be found in the Hebrew original.

Eduard

It is interesting to note that, while in Genesis, referring to the days of
Creation, the order is evening - morning, the order of the words when
referring to sacrifices is morning - evening. It might also be mentioned
that both Greek translations (the Septuagint and the Theodotion) included
"days" in their translation of Daniel 8:14.
