| beryl--literally, "Tarshish," in Spain. The beryl, identical with the chrysolite or topaz, was imported into the East from Tarshish, and therefore is called "the Tarshish stone." |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
His body also was like the beryl - There is a very striking resemblance between the description here given and that of the Saviour as he appeared to John in Patmos, Rev 1:13-16. See the notes at that passage. It contains, however, no description of the appearance of the body. "Beryl" is "a mineral of great hardness, occurring in green and bluish-green six-sided prisms. It is identical with the emerald, except that the latter has a purer and richer color. " - Dana, in Webster's Dictionary. The Hebrew word used here is תרשׁישׁ tarshı̂ysh "Tarshish, Tartessus," and properly refers to a country supposed to be on the south of Spain, a place where this mineral was probably found. This was situated between the mouths of the river Baetis, or Guadalquivir, and was a flourishing mart of the Phoenicians, Gen 10:4; Psa 72:10; Isa 23:1, Isa 23:6, Isa 23:10, ... - Gesenius. The name was given to this gem because it was brought from that place. The true meaning of the word, as applied to a gem, is supposed to be the chrysolite, that is, the topaz of the moderns. "Tarshish, the chrysolite," says Rosenmuller ("Mineralogy and Botany of the Bible," pp. 38, 39), "is a crystal-line precious stone of the quartz kind, of a glassy fracture. The prevailing color is yellowish-green, and pistachio-green of every variety and degree of shade, but always with a yellow and gold luster. It is completely diaphanous, and has a strong double refraction. Most commonly the chrysolite is found solid and in grains, or in angular pieces. The Hebrew word "Tarshish" denotes the south of Spain, the Tartessus of the Greeks and Romans, a place to which the Phoenicians traded even in the earliest ages. Probably the Phoenicians first brought the chrysolite from Spain to Syria, and it was on that account called Tarshish stone."
And his face as the appearance of lightning - Bright, shining. In Rev 1:16 it is, "And his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength." See the notes at that passage.
And his eyes as lamps of fire - Keen, penetrating. So in Rev 1:14 : "His eyes were as a flame of fire."
And his arms and his feet like in color to polished brass - So in Rev 1:15 : "And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace." See the notes at that passage. The meaning is, that they were bright - like burnished metal. The Hebrew here is, "like the eye of brass;" then, as the word eye comes to denote the "face or countenance," the meaning is, "like the face or appearance of brass." Complete Exo 10:5, Exo 10:15; Num 22:5, Num 22:11. It is easy to conceive of the appearance which one would make whose arms and feet resembled burnished brass.
And the voice of his words like the voice a multitude - A multitude of people - loud and strong. So in Rev 1:15 : "And his voice as the sound of many waters." |

| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
His body shone like תּרשׁישׁ, i.e., the chrysolite of the Old and the topaz of the New Testament (see under Eze 1:16); his countenance had the appearance of lightning, his eyes as lamps of fire, his arms and the place of his feet like the sight of polished brass (קלל, see under Eze 1:7).מרגּלות, place of the feet, does not stand for feet, but denotes that part of the human frame where the feet are; and the word indicates that not the feet alone, but the under parts of the body shone like burnished brass. The voice of his words, i.e., the sound of his speaking, was like המון קול, for which in Eze 1:24 המלּה קול (the voice of noise), and by מחנה קול (Eze 1:24) the noise of a host is denoted.
This heavenly form has thus, it is true, the shining white talar common to the angel, Eze 9:9, but all the other features, as here described - the shining of his body, the brightness of his countenance, his eyes like a lamp of fire, arms and feet like glistering brass, the sound of his speaking-all these point to the revelation of the יהוה כּבוד, the glorious appearance of the Lord, Ezekiel 1, and teach us that the אישׁ seen by Daniel was no common angel-prince, but a manifestation of Jehovah, i.e., the Logos. This is placed beyond a doubt by a comparison with Rev 1:13-15, where the form of the Son of man whom John saw walking in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks is described like the glorious appearance seen by Ezekiel and Daniel.
The place where this heavenly being was, is not here specially stated. In Dan 12:6 he appears hovering over the waters of the river, the Tigris. This agrees also with the verse before us, according to which Daniel, while standing on the banks of the river, on lifting up his eyes beheld the vision. Hence it further follows, that the אישׁ seen here by Daniel is the same heavenly being whose voice he heard, Dan 8:16, from the waters of the Ulai, without seeing his form.
When now he whose voice Daniel heard from thence presents himself before him here on the Tigris in a majesty which human nature is not able to endure, and announces to him the future, and finally, Dan 12:6., with a solemn oath attests the completion of the divine counsel, he thereby shows himself, as C. B. Michaelis ad Daniel p. 372, Schmieder in Gerlach's Bibelw., and Oehler (Art. Messias in Herz.'s Realenc. ix. p. 417) have acknowledged, to be the Angel of Jehovah κατ ̓ἐξοχὴν, as the "Angel of His presence." The combination of this angel with that in the form of a son of man appearing in the clouds (Dan 7:13) is natural; and this combination is placed beyond a doubt by the comparison with Rev 1:13, where John sees the glorified Christ, who is described by a name definitely referring to Dan 7:13, as ὅμοιον υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου.
On the other hand, the opinion maintained to some extent among the Rabbis, which even Hengstenberg has in modern times advocated (Beitr. i. p. 165ff.; Christol. iii. 2, p. 50ff.), namely, that the angel of the Lord who here appears to Daniel in divine majesty is identical with the angel-prince Michael, has no support in Scripture, and stands in contradiction to Dan 10:13, Dan 10:21, where he who speaks is certainly distinguished from Michael, for here there is ascribed to Michael a position with reference to the people of God which is not appropriate to the Angel of the Lord or the Logos. It is true, indeed, that Hengstenberg holds, with many old interpreters, that he who speaks with Daniel, Dan 10:11, and reveals to him the future, is different from him who appears to him, Dan 10:5, Dan 10:6, and is identical with the angel Gabriel. But the reasons advanced in support of this are not sufficient. The latter supposition is grounded partly on the similarity of the address to Daniel, חמות אישׁ, Dan 10:11, Dan 10:19, cf. with Dan 9:23, partly on the similarity of the circumstances, Dan 8:17-18, cf. with Dan 10:10 and Dan 12:5. But the address to Daniel חמות אישׁ proves nothing, because it does not express to Daniel the relation of the angel to him, but of the Lord who sent the angel; and Gabriel in Dan 9:23 does not address the prophet thus, but only says that he is המדות, i.e., a man greatly beloved of God. The similarity of circumstances with Dan 8:17-18 proves nothing further than that he who appeared was a heavenly being. More noticeable is the similarity of Dan 8:13 with Dan 12:5, so far as in both cases two angels appear along with him who hovers over the waters, and the voice from above the waters in Dan 8:16 directs the angel Gabriel to explain the vision to the prophet. But from the circumstance that in Daniel 8 and also in Daniel 9 Gabriel gives to the prophet disclosures regarding the future, it by no means follows, even on the supposition that he who is represented in the chapter before us as speaking is different from him who appears in Dan 10:5, Dan 10:6, that the angel who speaks is Gabriel. If he were Gabriel, he would have been named here, according to the analogy of Dan 10:9, Dan 10:21.
To this is to be added, that the assumed difference between him who speaks, Dan 10:11, and him who appears, Dan 10:5, Dan 10:6, is not made out, nor yet is it on the whole demonstrable. It is true that in favour of this difference, he who speaks is on the banks of the river where Daniel stands, while he who appears, vv. 5, 6, and also at the end of the vision, Dan 12:1-13, is in the midst of the Tigris, and in Dan 10:5 of this chapter (Dan 12:1-13) two other persons are standing on the two banks of the river, one of whom asks him who is clothed with linen, as if in the name of Daniel, when the things announced shall happen. Now if we assume that he who is clothed in linen is no other than he who speaks to Daniel, v. 11, then one of these two persons becomes a κωφὸν πρόσωπον, and it cannot be at all seen for what purpose he appears. If, on the contrary, the difference of the two is assumed, then each has his own function. The Angel of the Lord is present in silent majesty, and only by a brief sentence confirms the words of his messenger (Dan 12:7). The one of those standing on the banks is he who, as the messenger and interpreter of the Angel of the Lord, had communicated all disclosures regarding the future to Daniel as he stood by the banks. The third, the angel standing on the farther bank, directs the question regarding the duration of the time to the Angel of the Lord. Thus Hengstenberg is in harmony with C. B. Michaelis and others.
But however important these reasons for the difference appears, yet we cannot regard them as conclusive. From the circumstance that, Dan 10:10, a hand touched Daniel as he was sinking down in weakness and set him on his knees, it does not with certainty follow that this was the hand of the angel (Gabriel) who stood by Daniel, who spoke to him, Dan 10:11. The words of the text, "a hand touched me," leave the person whose hand it was altogether undefined; and also in Dan 10:16, Dan 10:18, where Daniel is again touched, so that he was able to open his mouth and was made capable of hearing the words that were addressed to him, the person from whom the touch proceeded is altogether indefinite. The designations, אדם בּני כּדּמוּת, like the similitude of the sons of men, Dan 10:16, and אדם כּמראה, like the appearance of a man, Dan 10:18, do not point to a definite angel who appears speaking in the sequel. But the circumstance that in Dan 12:1-13, besides the form that hovered over the water, other two angels appear on the banks, does not warrant us to assume that these two angels were already present or visible in Dan 10:5. The words, "Then I looked and saw other two, the one," etc., Dan 12:5, much rather indicate that the scene was changed, that Daniel now for the first time saw the two angels on the banks. In Daniel 10 he only sees him who is clothed with linen, and was so terrified by this "great sight" that he fell powerless to the ground on hearing his voice, and was only able to stand up after a hand had touched him and a comforting word had been spoken to him. Nothing is here, as in Dan 8:15, said of the coming of the angel. If thus, after mention being made of the hand which by touching him set him on his knees, it is further said, "and he spake to me ... " (Dan 10:11), the context only leads to this conclusion, that he who spake to him was the man whose appearance and words had so overwhelmed him. To suppose another person, or an angel different from the one who was clothed with linen, as speaking, could only be justified if the contents of that which was spoken demanded such a supposition.
He who spake said, among other things, that he was sent to Daniel (Dan 10:11); that the prince of the kingdom of Persia had withstood him one and twenty days; and that Michael, one of the chief angel-princes, had come to his help (Dan 10:13, Dan 10:21). These statements do not indicate that he was an inferior angel, but they are suitable to the Angel of the Lord; for he also says (Zac 2:13, 15; Zac 4:9) that he is sent by Jehovah; cf. also Isa 48:16 and Isa 61:1. The coming to his help by the angel-prince Michael, also, does not denote that he who speaks was an angel subordinated to the archangel Michael. In Zac 1:15 עזר denotes help which men render to God; and in Ch1 12:21. it is related that Israelites of different tribes came to David to help him against his enemies, i.e., under his leadership to fight for him. Similarly we may suppose that the angel Michael gave help to the Angel of the Lord against the prince of the kingdom of Persia.
There thus remains only the objection, that if we take the angel clothed with linen and him who speaks as the same, then in Dan 12:5 one of the angels who stood on the two banks of the Tigris becomes a κωφὸν πρόσωπον; but if we are not able to declare the object for which two angels appear there, yet the one of those two angels cannot certainly be the same as he who announced, Daniel 10 and 11, the future to the prophet, because these angels are expressly designated as two others (אהרים שׁנים), and the אהרים excludes the identifying of these with angels that previously appeared to Daniel. This argument is not set aside by the reply that the angels standing on the two banks of the river are spoken of as אהרים with reference to the Angel of the Lord, Dan 10:6, for the reference of the אהרים to that which follows is inconsistent with the context; see under Dan 12:5.
Thus every argument utterly fails that has been adduced in favour of the supposition that he who speaks, Dan 10:11, is different from him who is clothed in linen; and we are warranted to abide by the words of the narrative, which in Daniel 10 names no other angel than the man clothed with linen, who must on that account be the same as he who speaks and announces the future to the prophet. The hand which again set him up by touching him, is, it is true, to be thought of as proceeding from an angel; but it is not more definitely described, because this angel is not further noticed. But after the man clothed with linen has announced the future to the prophet, the scene changes (Dan 12:5). Daniel sees the same angels over the waters of the Tigris, and standing on the two banks of the river. Where he who was clothed in linen stands, is left indefinite in the narrative. If from the first it is he who hovers over the water of the river, he could yet talk with the prophet standing on its banks. But it is also possible that at first he was visible close beside the banks. |

5 He sent [07971] messengers [04397] therefore unto Balaam [01109] the son [01121] of Beor [01160] to Pethor [06604], which is by the river [05104] of the land [0776] of the children [01121] of his people [05971], to call [07121] him, saying [0559], Behold, there is a people [05971] come out [03318] from Egypt [04714]: behold, they cover [03680] the face [05869] of the earth [0776], and they abide [03427] over against [04136] me:
15 For they covered [03680] the face [05869] of the whole earth [0776], so that the land [0776] was darkened [02821]; and they did eat [0398] every herb [06212] of the land [0776], and all the fruit [06529] of the trees [06086] which the hail [01259] had left [03498]: and there remained [03498] not any green thing [03418] in the trees [06086], or in the herbs [06212] of the field [07704], through all the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].

10 And, behold, an hand [03027] touched [05060] me, which set [05128] me upon my knees [01290] and upon the palms [03709] of my hands [03027].
9 I [1473] John [2491], who [3588] also [2532] am your [5216] brother [80], and [2532] companion [4791] in [1722] tribulation [2347], and [2532] in [1722] the kingdom [932] and [2532] patience [5281] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], was [1096] in [1722] the isle [3520] that is called [2564] Patmos [3963], for [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] for [1223] the testimony [3141] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
7 And the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto Abram [087], and said [0559], Unto thy seed [02233] will I give [05414] this [02063] land [0776]: and there builded [01129] he an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068], who appeared [07200] unto him.
3 And he brought [0935] me thither, and, behold, there was a man [0376], whose appearance [04758] was like the appearance [04758] of brass [05178], with a line [06616] of flax [06593] in his hand [03027], and a measuring [04060] reed [07070]; and he stood [05975] in the gate [08179].
18 Then there came again [03254] and touched [05060] me one like the appearance [04758] of a man [0120], and he strengthened [02388] me,
10 And, behold, an hand [03027] touched [05060] me, which set [05128] me upon my knees [01290] and upon the palms [03709] of my hands [03027].
5 Then I Daniel [01840] looked [07200], and, behold, there stood [05975] other [0312] two [08147], the one [0259] on this side [02008] of the bank [08193] of the river [02975], and the other [0259] on that side of the bank [08193] of the river [02975].
11 And he said [0559] unto me, O Daniel [01840], a man [0376] greatly beloved [02532], understand [0995] the words [01697] that I speak [01696] unto thee, and stand [05975] upright [05977]: for unto thee am I now sent [07971]. And when he had spoken [01696] this word [01697] unto me, I stood [05975] trembling [07460].
5 Then I Daniel [01840] looked [07200], and, behold, there stood [05975] other [0312] two [08147], the one [0259] on this side [02008] of the bank [08193] of the river [02975], and the other [0259] on that side of the bank [08193] of the river [02975].
6 His body [01472] also was like the beryl [08658], and his face [06440] as the appearance [04758] of lightning [01300], and his eyes [05869] as lamps [03940] of fire [0784], and his arms [02220] and his feet [04772] like in colour [05869] to polished [07044] brass [05178], and the voice [06963] of his words [01697] like the voice [06963] of a multitude [01995].
5 Then I Daniel [01840] looked [07200], and, behold, there stood [05975] other [0312] two [08147], the one [0259] on this side [02008] of the bank [08193] of the river [02975], and the other [0259] on that side of the bank [08193] of the river [02975].
21 And they helped [05826] David [01732] against the band [01416] of the rovers: for they were all mighty men [01368] of valour [02428], and were captains [08269] in the host [06635].
15 And I am very [01419] sore [07110] displeased [07107] with the heathen [01471] that are at ease [07600]: for I was but a little [04592] displeased [07107], and they helped [05826] forward the affliction [07451].
1 The Spirit [07307] of the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] is upon me; because the LORD [03068] hath anointed [04886] me to preach good tidings [01319] unto the meek [06035]; he hath sent [07971] me to bind up [02280] the brokenhearted [07665] [03820], to proclaim [07121] liberty [01865] to the captives [07617], and the opening of the prison [06495] to them that are bound [0631];
16 Come [07126] ye near [07126] unto me, hear [08085] ye this; I have not spoken [01696] in secret [05643] from the beginning [07218]; from the time [06256] that it was, there am I: and now the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], and his Spirit [07307], hath sent [07971] me.
9 The hands [03027] of Zerubbabel [02216] have laid the foundation [03245] of this house [01004]; his hands [03027] shall also finish [01214] it; and thou shalt know [03045] that the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] hath sent [07971] me unto you.
13 Be silent [02013], O all flesh [01320], before [06440] the LORD [03068]: for he is raised up [05782] out of his holy [06944] habitation [04583].
21 But [061] I will shew [05046] thee that which is noted [07559] in the scripture [03791] of truth [0571]: and there is none [0259] that holdeth [02388] with me in these things, but Michael [04317] your prince [08269].
13 But the prince [08269] of the kingdom [04438] of Persia [06539] withstood [05975] me one [0259] and twenty [06242] days [03117]: but, lo, Michael [04317], one [0259] of the chief [07223] princes [08269], came [0935] to help [05826] me; and I remained [03498] there with [0681] the kings [04428] of Persia [06539].
11 And he said [0559] unto me, O Daniel [01840], a man [0376] greatly beloved [02532], understand [0995] the words [01697] that I speak [01696] unto thee, and stand [05975] upright [05977]: for unto thee am I now sent [07971]. And when he had spoken [01696] this word [01697] unto me, I stood [05975] trembling [07460].
11 And he said [0559] unto me, O Daniel [01840], a man [0376] greatly beloved [02532], understand [0995] the words [01697] that I speak [01696] unto thee, and stand [05975] upright [05977]: for unto thee am I now sent [07971]. And when he had spoken [01696] this word [01697] unto me, I stood [05975] trembling [07460].
15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel [01840], had seen [07200] the vision [02377], and sought [01245] for the meaning [0998], then, behold, there stood [05975] before me as the appearance [04758] of a man [01397].
5 Then I Daniel [01840] looked [07200], and, behold, there stood [05975] other [0312] two [08147], the one [0259] on this side [02008] of the bank [08193] of the river [02975], and the other [0259] on that side of the bank [08193] of the river [02975].
5 Then I lifted up [05375] mine eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and behold a certain [0259] man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], whose loins [04975] were girded [02296] with fine gold [03800] of Uphaz [0210]:
1 And at that time [06256] shall Michael [04317] stand up [05975], the great [01419] prince [08269] which standeth [05975] for the children [01121] of thy people [05971]: and there shall be [01961] a time [06256] of trouble [06869], such as never was since there was a nation [01471] even to that same time [06256]: and at that time [06256] thy people [05971] shall be delivered [04422], every one that shall be found [04672] written [03789] in the book [05612].
2 And many [07227] of them that sleep [03463] in the dust [06083] of the earth [0127] shall awake [06974], some to everlasting [05769] life [02416], and some to shame [02781] and everlasting [05769] contempt [01860].
3 And they that be wise [07919] shall shine [02094] as the brightness [02096] of the firmament [07549]; and they that turn many [07227] to righteousness [06663] as the stars [03556] for ever [05769] and ever [05703].
4 But thou, O Daniel [01840], shut up [05640] the words [01697], and seal [02856] the book [05612], even to the time [06256] of the end [07093]: many [07227] shall run to and fro [07751], and knowledge [01847] shall be increased [07235].
5 Then I Daniel [01840] looked [07200], and, behold, there stood [05975] other [0312] two [08147], the one [0259] on this side [02008] of the bank [08193] of the river [02975], and the other [0259] on that side of the bank [08193] of the river [02975].
6 And one said [0559] to the man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], which was upon [04605] the waters [04325] of the river [02975], How long shall it be to the end [07093] of these wonders [06382]?
7 And I heard [08085] the man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], which was upon [04605] the waters [04325] of the river [02975], when he held up [07311] his right hand [03225] and his left hand [08040] unto heaven [08064], and sware [07650] by him that liveth [02416] for ever [05769] that it shall be for a time [04150], times [04150], and an half [02677]; and when he shall have accomplished [03615] to scatter [05310] the power [03027] of the holy [06944] people [05971], all these things shall be finished [03615].
8 And I heard [08085], but I understood [0995] not: then said [0559] I, O my Lord [0113], what shall be the end [0319] of these things?
9 And he said [0559], Go thy way [03212], Daniel [01840]: for the words [01697] are closed up [05640] and sealed [02856] till the time [06256] of the end [07093].
10 Many [07227] shall be purified [01305], and made white [03835], and tried [06884]; but the wicked [07563] shall do wickedly [07561]: and none of the wicked [07563] shall understand [0995]; but the wise [07919] shall understand [0995].
11 And from the time [06256] that the daily [08548] sacrifice shall be taken away [05493], and the abomination [08251] that maketh desolate [08074] set up [05414], there shall be a thousand [0505] two hundred [03967] and ninety [08673] days [03117].
12 Blessed [0835] is he that waiteth [02442], and cometh [05060] to the thousand [0505] three [07969] hundred [03967] and five [02568] and thirty [07970] days [03117].
13 But go thou thy way [03212] till the end [07093] be: for thou shalt rest [05117], and stand [05975] in thy lot [01486] at the end [07093] of the days [03117].
18 Then there came again [03254] and touched [05060] me one like the appearance [04758] of a man [0120], and he strengthened [02388] me,
16 And, behold, one like the similitude [01823] of the sons [01121] of men [0120] touched [05060] my lips [08193]: then I opened [06605] my mouth [06310], and spake [01696], and said [0559] unto him that stood [05975] before me, O my lord [0113], by the vision [04759] my sorrows [06735] are turned [02015] upon me, and I have retained [06113] no strength [03581].
18 Then there came again [03254] and touched [05060] me one like the appearance [04758] of a man [0120], and he strengthened [02388] me,
16 And, behold, one like the similitude [01823] of the sons [01121] of men [0120] touched [05060] my lips [08193]: then I opened [06605] my mouth [06310], and spake [01696], and said [0559] unto him that stood [05975] before me, O my lord [0113], by the vision [04759] my sorrows [06735] are turned [02015] upon me, and I have retained [06113] no strength [03581].
11 And he said [0559] unto me, O Daniel [01840], a man [0376] greatly beloved [02532], understand [0995] the words [01697] that I speak [01696] unto thee, and stand [05975] upright [05977]: for unto thee am I now sent [07971]. And when he had spoken [01696] this word [01697] unto me, I stood [05975] trembling [07460].
10 And, behold, an hand [03027] touched [05060] me, which set [05128] me upon my knees [01290] and upon the palms [03709] of my hands [03027].
7 And I heard [08085] the man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], which was upon [04605] the waters [04325] of the river [02975], when he held up [07311] his right hand [03225] and his left hand [08040] unto heaven [08064], and sware [07650] by him that liveth [02416] for ever [05769] that it shall be for a time [04150], times [04150], and an half [02677]; and when he shall have accomplished [03615] to scatter [05310] the power [03027] of the holy [06944] people [05971], all these things shall be finished [03615].
1 And at that time [06256] shall Michael [04317] stand up [05975], the great [01419] prince [08269] which standeth [05975] for the children [01121] of thy people [05971]: and there shall be [01961] a time [06256] of trouble [06869], such as never was since there was a nation [01471] even to that same time [06256]: and at that time [06256] thy people [05971] shall be delivered [04422], every one that shall be found [04672] written [03789] in the book [05612].
2 And many [07227] of them that sleep [03463] in the dust [06083] of the earth [0127] shall awake [06974], some to everlasting [05769] life [02416], and some to shame [02781] and everlasting [05769] contempt [01860].
3 And they that be wise [07919] shall shine [02094] as the brightness [02096] of the firmament [07549]; and they that turn many [07227] to righteousness [06663] as the stars [03556] for ever [05769] and ever [05703].
4 But thou, O Daniel [01840], shut up [05640] the words [01697], and seal [02856] the book [05612], even to the time [06256] of the end [07093]: many [07227] shall run to and fro [07751], and knowledge [01847] shall be increased [07235].
5 Then I Daniel [01840] looked [07200], and, behold, there stood [05975] other [0312] two [08147], the one [0259] on this side [02008] of the bank [08193] of the river [02975], and the other [0259] on that side of the bank [08193] of the river [02975].
6 And one said [0559] to the man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], which was upon [04605] the waters [04325] of the river [02975], How long shall it be to the end [07093] of these wonders [06382]?
7 And I heard [08085] the man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], which was upon [04605] the waters [04325] of the river [02975], when he held up [07311] his right hand [03225] and his left hand [08040] unto heaven [08064], and sware [07650] by him that liveth [02416] for ever [05769] that it shall be for a time [04150], times [04150], and an half [02677]; and when he shall have accomplished [03615] to scatter [05310] the power [03027] of the holy [06944] people [05971], all these things shall be finished [03615].
8 And I heard [08085], but I understood [0995] not: then said [0559] I, O my Lord [0113], what shall be the end [0319] of these things?
9 And he said [0559], Go thy way [03212], Daniel [01840]: for the words [01697] are closed up [05640] and sealed [02856] till the time [06256] of the end [07093].
10 Many [07227] shall be purified [01305], and made white [03835], and tried [06884]; but the wicked [07563] shall do wickedly [07561]: and none of the wicked [07563] shall understand [0995]; but the wise [07919] shall understand [0995].
11 And from the time [06256] that the daily [08548] sacrifice shall be taken away [05493], and the abomination [08251] that maketh desolate [08074] set up [05414], there shall be a thousand [0505] two hundred [03967] and ninety [08673] days [03117].
12 Blessed [0835] is he that waiteth [02442], and cometh [05060] to the thousand [0505] three [07969] hundred [03967] and five [02568] and thirty [07970] days [03117].
13 But go thou thy way [03212] till the end [07093] be: for thou shalt rest [05117], and stand [05975] in thy lot [01486] at the end [07093] of the days [03117].
5 Then I lifted up [05375] mine eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and behold a certain [0259] man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], whose loins [04975] were girded [02296] with fine gold [03800] of Uphaz [0210]:
1 And at that time [06256] shall Michael [04317] stand up [05975], the great [01419] prince [08269] which standeth [05975] for the children [01121] of thy people [05971]: and there shall be [01961] a time [06256] of trouble [06869], such as never was since there was a nation [01471] even to that same time [06256]: and at that time [06256] thy people [05971] shall be delivered [04422], every one that shall be found [04672] written [03789] in the book [05612].
2 And many [07227] of them that sleep [03463] in the dust [06083] of the earth [0127] shall awake [06974], some to everlasting [05769] life [02416], and some to shame [02781] and everlasting [05769] contempt [01860].
3 And they that be wise [07919] shall shine [02094] as the brightness [02096] of the firmament [07549]; and they that turn many [07227] to righteousness [06663] as the stars [03556] for ever [05769] and ever [05703].
4 But thou, O Daniel [01840], shut up [05640] the words [01697], and seal [02856] the book [05612], even to the time [06256] of the end [07093]: many [07227] shall run to and fro [07751], and knowledge [01847] shall be increased [07235].
5 Then I Daniel [01840] looked [07200], and, behold, there stood [05975] other [0312] two [08147], the one [0259] on this side [02008] of the bank [08193] of the river [02975], and the other [0259] on that side of the bank [08193] of the river [02975].
6 And one said [0559] to the man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], which was upon [04605] the waters [04325] of the river [02975], How long shall it be to the end [07093] of these wonders [06382]?
7 And I heard [08085] the man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], which was upon [04605] the waters [04325] of the river [02975], when he held up [07311] his right hand [03225] and his left hand [08040] unto heaven [08064], and sware [07650] by him that liveth [02416] for ever [05769] that it shall be for a time [04150], times [04150], and an half [02677]; and when he shall have accomplished [03615] to scatter [05310] the power [03027] of the holy [06944] people [05971], all these things shall be finished [03615].
8 And I heard [08085], but I understood [0995] not: then said [0559] I, O my Lord [0113], what shall be the end [0319] of these things?
9 And he said [0559], Go thy way [03212], Daniel [01840]: for the words [01697] are closed up [05640] and sealed [02856] till the time [06256] of the end [07093].
10 Many [07227] shall be purified [01305], and made white [03835], and tried [06884]; but the wicked [07563] shall do wickedly [07561]: and none of the wicked [07563] shall understand [0995]; but the wise [07919] shall understand [0995].
11 And from the time [06256] that the daily [08548] sacrifice shall be taken away [05493], and the abomination [08251] that maketh desolate [08074] set up [05414], there shall be a thousand [0505] two hundred [03967] and ninety [08673] days [03117].
12 Blessed [0835] is he that waiteth [02442], and cometh [05060] to the thousand [0505] three [07969] hundred [03967] and five [02568] and thirty [07970] days [03117].
13 But go thou thy way [03212] till the end [07093] be: for thou shalt rest [05117], and stand [05975] in thy lot [01486] at the end [07093] of the days [03117].
6 His body [01472] also was like the beryl [08658], and his face [06440] as the appearance [04758] of lightning [01300], and his eyes [05869] as lamps [03940] of fire [0784], and his arms [02220] and his feet [04772] like in colour [05869] to polished [07044] brass [05178], and the voice [06963] of his words [01697] like the voice [06963] of a multitude [01995].
5 Then I lifted up [05375] mine eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and behold a certain [0259] man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], whose loins [04975] were girded [02296] with fine gold [03800] of Uphaz [0210]:
11 And he said [0559] unto me, O Daniel [01840], a man [0376] greatly beloved [02532], understand [0995] the words [01697] that I speak [01696] unto thee, and stand [05975] upright [05977]: for unto thee am I now sent [07971]. And when he had spoken [01696] this word [01697] unto me, I stood [05975] trembling [07460].
21 But [061] I will shew [05046] thee that which is noted [07559] in the scripture [03791] of truth [0571]: and there is none [0259] that holdeth [02388] with me in these things, but Michael [04317] your prince [08269].
9 Yet heard [08085] I the voice [06963] of his words [01697]: and when I heard [08085] the voice [06963] of his words [01697], then was I in a deep sleep [07290] on my face [06440], and my face [06440] toward the ground [0776].
6 His body [01472] also was like the beryl [08658], and his face [06440] as the appearance [04758] of lightning [01300], and his eyes [05869] as lamps [03940] of fire [0784], and his arms [02220] and his feet [04772] like in colour [05869] to polished [07044] brass [05178], and the voice [06963] of his words [01697] like the voice [06963] of a multitude [01995].
5 Then I lifted up [05375] mine eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and behold a certain [0259] man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], whose loins [04975] were girded [02296] with fine gold [03800] of Uphaz [0210]:
16 And I heard [08085] a man's [0120] voice [06963] between the banks of Ulai [0195], which called [07121], and said [0559], Gabriel [01403], make this [01975] man to understand [0995] the vision [04758].
5 Then I Daniel [01840] looked [07200], and, behold, there stood [05975] other [0312] two [08147], the one [0259] on this side [02008] of the bank [08193] of the river [02975], and the other [0259] on that side of the bank [08193] of the river [02975].
13 Then I heard [08085] one [0259] saint [06918] speaking [01696], and another [0259] saint [06918] said [0559] unto that certain [06422] saint which spake [01696], How long shall be the vision [02377] concerning the daily [08548] sacrifice, and the transgression [06588] of desolation [08074], to give [05414] both the sanctuary [06944] and the host [06635] to be trodden under foot [04823]?
17 So he came [0935] near [0681] where I stood [05977]: and when he came [0935], I was afraid [01204], and fell [05307] upon my face [06440]: but he said [0559] unto me, Understand [0995], O son [01121] of man [0120]: for at the time [06256] of the end [07093] shall be the vision [02377].
18 Now as he was speaking [01696] with me, I was in a deep sleep [07290] on my face [06440] toward the ground [0776]: but he touched [05060] me, and set [05975] me upright [05977].
23 At the beginning [08462] of thy supplications [08469] the commandment [01697] came forth [03318], and I am come [0935] to shew [05046] thee; for thou art greatly beloved [02532]: therefore understand [0995] the matter [01697], and consider [0995] the vision [04758].
5 Then I Daniel [01840] looked [07200], and, behold, there stood [05975] other [0312] two [08147], the one [0259] on this side [02008] of the bank [08193] of the river [02975], and the other [0259] on that side of the bank [08193] of the river [02975].
10 And, behold, an hand [03027] touched [05060] me, which set [05128] me upon my knees [01290] and upon the palms [03709] of my hands [03027].
17 So he came [0935] near [0681] where I stood [05977]: and when he came [0935], I was afraid [01204], and fell [05307] upon my face [06440]: but he said [0559] unto me, Understand [0995], O son [01121] of man [0120]: for at the time [06256] of the end [07093] shall be the vision [02377].
18 Now as he was speaking [01696] with me, I was in a deep sleep [07290] on my face [06440] toward the ground [0776]: but he touched [05060] me, and set [05975] me upright [05977].
23 At the beginning [08462] of thy supplications [08469] the commandment [01697] came forth [03318], and I am come [0935] to shew [05046] thee; for thou art greatly beloved [02532]: therefore understand [0995] the matter [01697], and consider [0995] the vision [04758].
19 And said [0559], O man [0376] greatly beloved [02532], fear [03372] not: peace [07965] be unto thee, be strong [02388], yea, be strong [02388]. And when he had spoken [01696] unto me, I was strengthened [02388], and said [0559], Let my lord [0113] speak [01696]; for thou hast strengthened [02388] me.
11 And he said [0559] unto me, O Daniel [01840], a man [0376] greatly beloved [02532], understand [0995] the words [01697] that I speak [01696] unto thee, and stand [05975] upright [05977]: for unto thee am I now sent [07971]. And when he had spoken [01696] this word [01697] unto me, I stood [05975] trembling [07460].
6 His body [01472] also was like the beryl [08658], and his face [06440] as the appearance [04758] of lightning [01300], and his eyes [05869] as lamps [03940] of fire [0784], and his arms [02220] and his feet [04772] like in colour [05869] to polished [07044] brass [05178], and the voice [06963] of his words [01697] like the voice [06963] of a multitude [01995].
5 Then I lifted up [05375] mine eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and behold a certain [0259] man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], whose loins [04975] were girded [02296] with fine gold [03800] of Uphaz [0210]:
11 And he said [0559] unto me, O Daniel [01840], a man [0376] greatly beloved [02532], understand [0995] the words [01697] that I speak [01696] unto thee, and stand [05975] upright [05977]: for unto thee am I now sent [07971]. And when he had spoken [01696] this word [01697] unto me, I stood [05975] trembling [07460].
21 But [061] I will shew [05046] thee that which is noted [07559] in the scripture [03791] of truth [0571]: and there is none [0259] that holdeth [02388] with me in these things, but Michael [04317] your prince [08269].
13 But the prince [08269] of the kingdom [04438] of Persia [06539] withstood [05975] me one [0259] and twenty [06242] days [03117]: but, lo, Michael [04317], one [0259] of the chief [07223] princes [08269], came [0935] to help [05826] me; and I remained [03498] there with [0681] the kings [04428] of Persia [06539].
13 I saw [01934] [02370] in the night [03916] visions [02376], and, behold [0718], one like the Son [01247] of man [0606] came [0858] with [05974] the clouds [06050] of heaven [08065], and came [04291] to [05705] the Ancient [06268] of days [03118], and they brought him near [07127] before [06925] him.
13 And [2532] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the seven [2033] candlesticks [3087] one like [3664] unto the Son [5207] of man [444], clothed with a garment [1746] down to the foot [4158], and [2532] girt [4024] about [4314] the paps [3149] with a golden [5552] girdle [2223].
13 I saw [01934] [02370] in the night [03916] visions [02376], and, behold [0718], one like the Son [01247] of man [0606] came [0858] with [05974] the clouds [06050] of heaven [08065], and came [04291] to [05705] the Ancient [06268] of days [03118], and they brought him near [07127] before [06925] him.
6 And one said [0559] to the man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], which was upon [04605] the waters [04325] of the river [02975], How long shall it be to the end [07093] of these wonders [06382]?
16 And I heard [08085] a man's [0120] voice [06963] between the banks of Ulai [0195], which called [07121], and said [0559], Gabriel [01403], make this [01975] man to understand [0995] the vision [04758].
6 And one said [0559] to the man [0376] clothed [03847] in linen [0906], which was upon [04605] the waters [04325] of the river [02975], How long shall it be to the end [07093] of these wonders [06382]?
13 And [2532] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the seven [2033] candlesticks [3087] one like [3664] unto the Son [5207] of man [444], clothed with a garment [1746] down to the foot [4158], and [2532] girt [4024] about [4314] the paps [3149] with a golden [5552] girdle [2223].
14 [1161] His [846] head [2776] and [2532] his hairs [2359] were white [3022] like [5616] wool [2053], as white [3022] as [5613] snow [5510]; and [2532] his [846] eyes [3788] were as [5613] a flame [5395] of fire [4442];
15 And [2532] his [846] feet [4228] like [3664] unto fine brass [5474], as [5613] if they burned [4448] in [1722] a furnace [2575]; and [2532] his [846] voice [5456] as [5613] the sound [5456] of many [4183] waters [5204].
9 Then said [0559] he unto me, The iniquity [05771] of the house [01004] of Israel [03478] and Judah [03063] is exceeding [03966] [03966] great [01419], and the land [0776] is full [04390] of blood [01818], and the city [05892] full [04390] of perverseness [04297]: for they say [0559], The LORD [03068] hath forsaken [05800] the earth [0776], and the LORD [03068] seeth [07200] not.
24 And when they went [03212], I heard [08085] the noise [06963] of their wings [03671], like the noise [06963] of great [07227] waters [04325], as the voice [06963] of the Almighty [07706], the voice [06963] of speech [01999], as the noise [06963] of an host [04264]: when they stood [05975], they let down [07503] their wings [03671].
24 And when they went [03212], I heard [08085] the noise [06963] of their wings [03671], like the noise [06963] of great [07227] waters [04325], as the voice [06963] of the Almighty [07706], the voice [06963] of speech [01999], as the noise [06963] of an host [04264]: when they stood [05975], they let down [07503] their wings [03671].
7 And their feet [07272] were straight [03477] feet [07272]; and the sole [03709] of their feet [07272] was like the sole [03709] of a calf's [05695] foot [07272]: and they sparkled [05340] like the colour [05869] of burnished [07044] brass [05178].
16 The appearance [04758] of the wheels [0212] and their work [04639] was like unto the colour [05869] of a beryl [08658]: and they four [0702] had one [0259] likeness [01823]: and their appearance [04758] and their work [04639] was as it were a wheel [0212] in the middle [08432] of a wheel [0212].
13 And [2532] in [1722] the midst [3319] of the seven [2033] candlesticks [3087] one like [3664] unto the Son [5207] of man [444], clothed with a garment [1746] down to the foot [4158], and [2532] girt [4024] about [4314] the paps [3149] with a golden [5552] girdle [2223].
14 [1161] His [846] head [2776] and [2532] his hairs [2359] were white [3022] like [5616] wool [2053], as white [3022] as [5613] snow [5510]; and [2532] his [846] eyes [3788] were as [5613] a flame [5395] of fire [4442];
15 And [2532] his [846] feet [4228] like [3664] unto fine brass [5474], as [5613] if they burned [4448] in [1722] a furnace [2575]; and [2532] his [846] voice [5456] as [5613] the sound [5456] of many [4183] waters [5204].
