This exclusivity highlights the personal nature of God's revelation to His chosen servants. Throughout the Bible, God often reveals His plans to individuals rather than groups, as seen with Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 3) and Paul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). Daniel's unique experience underscores his role as a mediator of God's messages to His people.the men with me did not see it, This phrase indicates a common biblical theme where spiritual realities are perceived by some but hidden from others. Similar instances occur in <a href="/2_kings/6-17.htm">2 Kings 6:17</a>, where Elisha's servant's eyes are opened to see the heavenly army, and in <a href="/acts/9-7.htm">Acts 9:7</a>, where Paul's companions hear a voice but see no one. This selective revelation emphasizes the spiritual discernment granted to those chosen by God.but a great terror fell upon them, The presence of divine or angelic beings often induces fear, as seen in other biblical accounts like the shepherds' reaction to the angelic announcement of Jesus' birth (<a href="/luke/2-9.htm">Luke 2:9</a>). This terror reflects the overwhelming holiness and power of God's presence, which can be unsettling to those unprepared or unchosen to receive it. It also serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring nature of God's revelations.and they ran and hid themselves. The reaction of Daniel's companions mirrors the human instinct to hide from the divine, as seen in <a href="/genesis/3-8.htm">Genesis 3:8</a> when Adam and Eve hide from God after sinning. This response highlights the natural human fear of the divine and the unknown. It also contrasts with Daniel's steadfastness and readiness to receive God's message, illustrating the difference between those called to prophetic ministry and those who are not.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/d/daniel.htm">Daniel</a> A prophet and a man of God who is receiving a vision.

It may be added that, as upon that occasion (comp. <a href="/acts/9-7.htm" title="And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.">Acts 9:7</a>), the companions of the prophet heard the voice but saw nothing.

The LXX. in the main agrees with this, but seems to have read lemahar, "in haste," instead of behayhabay. Theodotion renders the last word ἐν φόβῳ, implying that he read behaga. The reading of the Massoretic is superior, as being less expected. The Peshitta renders in accordance with Theodotion. Jerome agrees very exactly with the Massoretic text. And I Daniel alone saw the vision (comp. <a href="/acts/9-7.htm">Acts 9:7</a>; <a href="/acts/22-9.htm">Acts 22:9</a>). The Apostle Paul was solitary in hearing intelligible words and seeing Christ; his attendants saw the bright light and heard a voice, but neither saw the speaker nor were able to distinguish the purport of the words. For the men that were with me saw not the vision. Who those were that were with Daniel we cannot tell; probably they were the ordinary attendants of an officer of rank in the court of the great king. Rashi's idea that they were Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, has no probability in favour of it. As little has Professor Fuller's hint that they were Hananiah, Michael, and Azariah. But a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves (comp. <a href="/exodus/20-18.htm">Exodus 20:18</a>; <a href="/genesis/3-8.htm">Genesis 3:8</a>). A yet finer parallel is <a href="/job/4-12.htm">Job 4:12-16</a>. Eliphaz there describes a spirit passing before him, although invisible; yet in the horror of contact with the spiritual, all his bones shook and the hair of his flesh stood up. There is a difference to be noted here between the conduct of the attendants of Daniel and those of the Apostle Paul. As we read here, the attendants of Daniel flee to hide themselves, those of the apostle are first struck to the earth and then stand stupefied. <a href="/commentaries/daniel/10-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Only לְבַדִּי֙ (lə·ḇad·dî) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_905.htm">Strong's 905: </a> Separation, a part of the body, branch of a, tree, bar for, carrying, chief of I, אֲנִ֨י (’ă·nî) Pronoun - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_589.htm">Strong's 589: </a> I Daniel, דָנִיֵּ֤אל (ḏā·nî·yêl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1840.htm">Strong's 1840: </a> Daniel -- 'God is my judge', the name of several Israelites saw וְרָאִיתִי֩ (wə·rā·’î·ṯî) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7200.htm">Strong's 7200: </a> To see the vision; הַמַּרְאָ֔ה (ham·mar·’āh) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4759.htm">Strong's 4759: </a> A vision, a mirror the men וְהָאֲנָשִׁים֙ (wə·hā·’ă·nā·šîm) Conjunctive waw, Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_582.htm">Strong's 582: </a> Man, mankind with me עִמִּ֔י (‘im·mî) Preposition | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5973.htm">Strong's 5973: </a> With, equally with did not לֹ֥א (lō) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no see it, רָא֖וּ (rā·’ū) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7200.htm">Strong's 7200: </a> To see but אֲבָ֗ל (’ă·ḇāl) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_61.htm">Strong's 61: </a> Verily, of a truth a great גְדֹלָה֙ (ḡə·ḏō·lāh) Adjective - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1419.htm">Strong's 1419: </a> Great, older, insolent terror חֲרָדָ֤ה (ḥă·rā·ḏāh) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2731.htm">Strong's 2731: </a> Trembling, fear, anxiety fell נָפְלָ֣ה (nā·p̄ə·lāh) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5307.htm">Strong's 5307: </a> To fall, lie upon them, עֲלֵיהֶ֔ם (‘ă·lê·hem) Preposition | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against and they ran וַֽיִּבְרְח֖וּ (way·yiḇ·rə·ḥū) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1272.htm">Strong's 1272: </a> To bolt, to flee suddenly and hid themselves. בְּהֵחָבֵֽא׃ (bə·hê·ḥā·ḇê) Preposition-b | Verb - Nifal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2244.htm">Strong's 2244: </a> To withdraw, hide <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/daniel/10-7.htm">Daniel 10:7 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/daniel/10-7.htm">Daniel 10:7 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/daniel/10-7.htm">Daniel 10:7 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/daniel/10-7.htm">Daniel 10:7 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/daniel/10-7.htm">Daniel 10:7 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/daniel/10-7.htm">Daniel 10:7 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/daniel/10-7.htm">Daniel 10:7 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/daniel/10-7.htm">Daniel 10:7 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/daniel/10-7.htm">Daniel 10:7 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/daniel/10-7.htm">Daniel 10:7 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/daniel/10-7.htm">OT Prophets: Daniel 10:7 I Daniel alone saw the vision (Dan.
