Charles Ellicott Commentary Daniel 8:11

"Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and it took away from him the continual [burnt-offering], and the place of his sanctuary was cast down." — Daniel 8:11 (ASV)

Prince of the host — that is, Jehovah Himself. (Daniel 11:36.)

The daily — that is, everything permanent in the worship of God, such as sacrifices, etc. (See Note on Leviticus 6:13.) On this conduct of Antiochus, see 1 Maccabees 1:39; 1 Maccabees 1:45 and following; 1 Maccabees 3:45.

Place of his sanctuary — that is, the Temple. (Compare 1 Kings 8:13.)
