And he understood the message and had an understanding of the vision. <p class="paragraph"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>In those days I, Daniel, had been mourning for three entire weeks. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>I ate no tasty food, nor did any meat or wine enter my mouth; and I did not <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[a]</a></span>anoint (refresh, groom) myself at all for the full three weeks. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was on the bank of the great river Hiddekel [which is the Tigris], <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[b]</a></span>certain man dressed in linen, whose loins were girded with [a <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[c]</a></span>belt of] pure gold of Uphaz. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>His body also was like beryl [with a golden luster], his face had the appearance of lightning, his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and his feet like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words was like the noise of a multitude [of people or the roaring of the sea]. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision [of this heavenly being], for the men who were with me did not see the vision; nevertheless, a great panic overwhelmed them, so they ran away to hide themselves. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>So I was left alone and saw this great vision; yet no strength was left in me, for my normal appearance turned to a deathly pale, and I grew weak <i>and</i> faint [with fright]. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Then I heard the sound of his words; and when I heard the sound of his words, I fell on my face in a deep sleep, with my face toward the ground. <p class="hdg">Daniel Comforted</p><p class="paragraph"><span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Then behold, a hand touched me and set me unsteadily on my <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[d]</a></span>hands and knees. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>So he said to me, “O Daniel, you highly regarded <i>and</i> greatly beloved man, understand the words that I am about to say to you and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.” And while he was saying this word to me, I stood up trembling. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words. <span class="reftext"><a href="/daniel/10-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>But the <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[e]</a></span>prince of the kingdom of Persia was standing in opposition to me for twenty-one days.
