In the Hebrew text, the word used is "tarshish," which is sometimes translated as "chrysolite" or "topaz." This imagery suggests a figure of immense worth and splendor, reflecting the divine nature of the vision. Beryl's translucent quality may symbolize purity and the heavenly origin of the being described, emphasizing the glory and majesty of God's messengers.His face like the brilliance of lightning Lightning is a powerful natural phenomenon that conveys both awe and fear. The Hebrew word for "lightning" is "baraq," which signifies a sudden and intense brightness. This description of the face suggests an overwhelming presence, one that is both illuminating and revealing. It reflects the divine wisdom and insight that pierces through darkness, symbolizing the revelation of God's truth and the clarity that comes with divine encounters.His eyes like flaming torches The imagery of "flaming torches" conveys a sense of penetrating vision and intense scrutiny. In Hebrew, "lapid" refers to a torch or flame, often associated with guidance and judgment. This description implies that the being has the ability to see through the superficial and discern the true nature of things. It is a reminder of God's omniscience and the purifying power of His gaze, which refines and purges impurities.His arms and legs like the gleam of polished bronze Bronze, in ancient times, was a symbol of strength and durability. The Hebrew word "nechosheth" is used for bronze, indicating a material that is both resilient and radiant. The polished aspect suggests refinement and perfection. This description highlights the might and stability of the divine messenger, reflecting the unwavering and enduring nature of God's power and authority.His voice like the sound of a multitude The phrase "sound of a multitude" evokes the image of a vast assembly or the roar of many waters. In Hebrew, "qol hamon" suggests a voice that is overwhelming and majestic. This description emphasizes the authority and command inherent in the voice, capable of commanding attention and conveying the weight of divine decree. It is a reminder of the power of God's word, which can move nations and transform hearts.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/daniel/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(6) Beryl.--Heb., Tarshish, a variety of the topaz.His feet.--More correctly, the place where his feet were, or the lower extremities of his limbs.
