Daniel 10:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Daniel 10:5

3 I ate no¹ pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

4 Now on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, that is, the¹ Tigris,

5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in ^alinen, whose waist was ^bgirded with gold of Uphaz!

6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in color, ^aand the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude.

7 And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great terror fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.

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.
