Daniel 8 verse 26 - Destroying KJV Onlyism and 7th Day Adventism

"The singular usage of 'evening and morning' in Daniel 8:26, coupled with the definite article, suggests a reference to a singular entity or concept rather than a numerical count of days. This linguistic choice aligns with the Hebrew practice of using the singular to denote a regular, ongoing action or event. In the context of the Hebrew sacrificial system, 'evening and morning' would naturally refer to the daily sacrifices, a ritual that occurs each evening and morning without fail.

The absence of a plural form in verse 26, despite the mention of 2,300 evenings and mornings in verse 14, indicates that the focus is not on the quantity of days but on the continuity of a specific ritual practice. The text seems to emphasize the disruption and eventual restoration of this daily ritual, rather than providing a tally of individual days.
