Daniel 10 — Context

4

And on the twenty-fourth day of the first month I was by the side of the great river;

5

And lifting up my eyes I saw the form of a man clothed in a linen robe, and round him there was a band of gold, of the best gold:

6

And his body was like the beryl, and his face had the look of a thunder-flame, and his eyes were like burning lights, and his arms and feet like the colour of polished brass, and the sound of his voice was like the sound of an army.

7

And I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see it; but a great shaking came on them and they went in flight to take cover.

8

So I was by myself, and I saw this great vision, and all my strength went from me; and the colour went from my face.

9

But the sound of his words came to my ears, and on hearing his voice I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth.

10

Then a hand gave me a touch, awaking me, and putting me on my knees and my hands.
