하박국 3:11 할라카: The Sabbath Epistle

Also, in Daniel it is written “He said to me until evening, morning” (8:14). Here a vav (“and”) is missing,²³ The verse should be understood as “until evening and morning.” as in “Sun, moon stood in its place” (Habakkuk 3:11).²⁴ Here also a conjunctive vav is missing, yet the verse is understood to mean “Sun and moon”. Proof of this is from a subsequent verse “The vision of the evening and the morning” (Daniel 8:26).²⁵ In the latter verse it is written “ha‘erev vehavoqer,” with a conjunctive vav. This constitutes a full day. The reference is to the two thousand days that Israel were afflicted in the days of the Greeks, as I have explained in its place. Therefore the angel said, “The vision of the evening and the morning that was said is true.” Meaning that it is not necessary to explain, for they are complete days, as you were told.
