Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Fear came upon me - Margin, "Met me." The Chaldee Paraphrase renders this, "a tempest," זיקא. The Septuagint, φρίκη frikē - "shuddering," or "horror." The sense is, that he became greatly alarmed at the vision. Which made all my bones to shake - Margin, as in Hebrew, the multitude of my bones. A similar image is employed by Virgil, Obstupuere auimis, gelidusque per ima cucurrit Ossa tremor; Aeneid ii. 120. "A cold tremor ran through all their bones."
