Daniel 10:10
Compare all
8 Therefore I was left alone when I saw this great vision, and no strength remained in me; for my1 vigor was turned to frailty in me, and I retained no strength.  
9 Yet I heard the sound of his words; and while I heard the sound of his words I was in a deep sleep on my face, with my face to the ground.

Prophecies Concerning Persia and Greece

10 aSuddenly, a hand touched me, which made me tremble on my knees and on the palms of my hands.  
11 And he said to me, “O Daniel, aman greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.” While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling.  
12 Then he said to me, a“Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, byour words were heard; and I have come because of your words.  
13 aBut the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, bMichael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia.  
14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people ain the latter days, bfor the vision refers to many days yet to come.”  
15 When he had spoken such words to me, aI turned my face toward the ground and became speechless.  
16 And suddenly, aone having the likeness of the1 sons of men btouched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke, saying to him who stood before me, “My lord, because of the vision cmy sorrows have overwhelmed me, and I have retained no strength.  
17 For how can this servant of my lord talk with you, my lord? As for me, no strength remains in me now, nor is any breath left in me.”
18 Then again, the one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.

Daniel 10:10

A hand touched me - Nothing was apparent or palpable but a hand. A hand had written Belshazzar' s fate upon the wall; and the hand is frequently mentioned when the power or majesty of God is intended. Perhaps by hand God himself may be meant. It is remarkable that in a very ancient MS. of the Septuagint, more than a thousand years old, now in the imperial library of Vienna, adorned with paintings which have been engraved for the catalogue of Lambechius, and transferred to that of Nesselius, all the appearances of God are represented by a hand in the clouds.
