Daniel 10:15-16

10:15 While he was saying this to me, 1  I was flat on 2  the ground and unable to speak. 10:16 Then 3  one who appeared to be a human being 4  was touching my lips. I opened my mouth and started to speak, saying to the one who was standing before me, “Sir, 5  due to the vision, anxiety has gripped me and I have no strength.

1 tn Heb “speaking to me according to these words.”

2 tn Heb “I placed my face toward.”

3 tn Heb “Behold.”

4 tc So most Hebrew MSS; one Hebrew MS along with the Dead Sea Scrolls and LXX read “something that looked like a man’s hand.”

5 tn Heb “my lord,” here a title of polite address. Cf. v. 19.
