Three weeks of mourning

1In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a word was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. The word was true, and it concerned a great conflict; and he understood the word and had understanding in the vision.

2In those days, I, Daniel, was mourning for three weeks of days.

3I ate no delicacies, and no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, until the completion of three full weeks.
