And having reigned over Syria and seizing all Egypt under himself, later he came to Jerusalem and he entered into the Most Holy Place and took all the treasures which were in the house of the Lord and the golden lampstand and the table and the altar and he committed great murder in the land and he spoke immoderate words and prevented sacrifice and offering, and he built a sacred grove and built idols in the city, and sacrificed a pig, even a common animal, so that what was spoken by the prophet may be fulfilled, \"And on account of him the sacrifice was disturbed and righteousness was hurled to the ground and the Most Holy Place and the power was trampled until evening and morning one thousand and three hundred days.\" [Daniel 8:11-14]<br/><i>— Commentary on Daniel 4.26.7</i></p><p><b>Ishodad of Merv</b>: \"The host was given over,\" so that \"the regular burnt offering\" that is, the sacrifices and offerings, were abolished and removed from their place. They were called so, because they had been established since the days of Moses and had continued constantly, or because the Jews offered sacrifices in the morning and the evening; and they came to an end as a consequence of the intervention of that criminal. \"The place of his sanctuary,\" that is, he destroyed, scattered and overturned the vessels and adornments of the house of the Lord.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Daniel 8:11</i></p><p><b>Jerome</b>: Verses 11, 12. And as for the statement, \"And he glorified himself even against the Prince of Power,\" this means that he lifted himself up against God and persecuted His saints. He even took away the endelekhismos or \"continual offering\" which was customarily sacrificed in the morning and at even, and he prevailed to the casting down of the \"place of His sanctuary.\" And he did not do this by his own prowess, but only \"on account of the sins of the people.\" And thus it came to pass that truth was prostrated upon the ground, and as the worship of idols flourished, the religion of God suffered an eclipse.<br/><i>— St. Jerome, Commentary on Daniel, CHAPTER EIGHT</i></p><p><b>Theodoret of Cyrus</b>: Then he foretells with greater clarity the audacity that would be committed by Antiochus. \"On account of him sacrifice was disrupted by transgression\": he did not permit the sacrifices prescribed by law to be made, requiring instead that they be performed in the Greek manner.<br/><i>— COMMENTARY ON Daniel 8:11</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"d5c60fa24bc315b2c22a9ad6ac8eb2b0d3d90af50d682bfd5d70c7c6866f088e","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":3833,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"57d07141b031bc989a863c4eda77339be76641d01452dcfdb4caa6ca3999ba61","translator":null,"work":null}
