내가 너희 성읍으로 황폐케 하고 너희 성소들로 황량케 할 것이요 너희의 향기로운 향을 흠향치 아니하고
Sha'arei Orah
Daniel thus said, “I am only making a small request of You, that You return to Your place that is sanctified to You, from which it is impossible for You to separate. For, although You have withdrawn from it, it nevertheless is sanctified to You.” He therefore said,141Daniel 9:17 “Let Your face shine upon Your desolate Sanctuary,” in that it certainly is Your desolate Sanctuary. That is, even though it is desolate and destroyed, it is Yours. In other words, when he said, “upon Your desolate Sanctuary,” this is like the verse that states,142Leviticus 26:31 “And I will bring desolation to your Sanctuaries,” about which it is taught,143Talmud Bavli, Megillah 28a “Even though they are desolate, their sanctity remains.” Thus, it is about this that Daniel said, “Let Your face shine upon Your desolate Sanctuary.”
