Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 11:16

16 But he that cometh against him , shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land which by his hand shall be consumed.

i. e. Antiochus, shall do after his own will, as he listeth with out controul.

i. e. Judaea, the word may be rendred pleasant, desireable, noble, Dan. 8.9. Antiochus held all Judea, the Jewes not opposing, and with the provision and product of it maintained his Army; Josephus. And to win them to his side from the Egyptians, he gave them Liberties, as to their Religion, incouraging their Sacrifices▪ and easing their Taxes. For so Iosephus translates [non-Latin text not transcribed] by [non-Latin text not transcribed] to consummate and make perfect, and not to consume, as some render it; and thus the 70 likewise.
