Daniel 10 — Context

5

I looked up and saw a man clothed in linen; around his waist was a belt made of gold from Ufaz.

6

His body resembled yellow jasper, and his face had an appearance like lightning. His eyes were like blazing torches; his arms and feet had the gleam of polished bronze. His voice thundered forth like the sound of a large crowd.

7

Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men who were with me did not see it. On the contrary, they were overcome with fright and ran away to hide.

8

I alone was left to see this great vision. My strength drained from me, and my vigor disappeared; I was without energy.

9

I listened to his voice, and as I did so I fell into a trance-like sleep with my face to the ground.

10

Then a hand touched me and set me on my hands and knees.

11

He said to me,“Daniel, you are of great value. Understand the words that I am about to speak to you. So stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” When he said this to me, I stood up shaking.
