10:1 In the third 7969 year 8141 of Cyrus 3566 king 4428 of Persia 6539 a thing 1697 was revealed 1540 8738 unto Daniel 1840, whose name 8034 was called 7121 8738 Belteshazzar 1095; and the thing 1697 [was] true 571, but the time appointed 6635 [was] long 1419: and he understood 995 8804 the thing 1697, and had understanding 998 of the vision 4758.(long: Heb. great)

10:2 In those days 3117 I Daniel 1840 was mourning 56 8693 three 7969 full 3117 weeks 7620.(full…: Heb. weeks of days)

10:3 I ate 398 8804 no pleasant 2532 bread 3899, neither came 935 8804 flesh 1320 nor wine 3196 in my mouth 6310, neither did I anoint 5480 8804 myself at all 5480 8800, till three 7969 whole 3117 weeks 7620 were fulfilled 4390 8800.(pleasant…: Heb. bread of desires)

10:4 And in the four 702 and twentieth 6242 day 3117 of the first 7223 month 2320, as I was by the side 3027 of the great 1419 river 5104, which [is] Hiddekel 2313;

10:5 Then I lifted up 5375 8799 mine eyes 5869, and looked 7200 8799, and behold a certain 259 man 376 clothed 3847 8803 in linen 906, whose loins 4975 [were] girded 2296 8803 with fine gold 3800 of Uphaz 210:(a…: Heb. one man)

10:6 His body 1472 also [was] like the beryl 8658, and his face 6440 as the appearance 4758 of lightning 1300, and his eyes 5869 as lamps 3940 of fire 784, and his arms 2220 and his feet 4772 like in colour 5869 to polished 7044 brass 5178, and the voice 6963 of his words 1697 like the voice 6963 of a multitude 1995.

10:7 And I Daniel 1840 alone saw 7200 8804 the vision 4759: for the men 582 that were with me saw 7200 8804 not the vision 4759; but 61 a great 1419 quaking 2731 fell 5307 8804 upon them, so that they fled 1272 8799 to hide 2244 8736 themselves.

10:8 Therefore I was left alone 7604 8738, and saw 7200 8799 this great 1419 vision 4759, and there remained 7604 8738 no strength 3581 in me: for my comeliness 1935 was turned 2015 8738 in me into corruption 4889, and I retained 6113 8804 no strength 3581.(comeliness: or, vigour)

10:9 Yet heard 8085 8799 I the voice 6963 of his words 1697: and when I heard 8085 8800 the voice 6963 of his words 1697, then was I in a deep sleep 7290 8737 on my face 6440, and my face 6440 toward the ground 776.

10:10 And, behold, an hand 3027 touched 5060 8804 me, which set 5128 8686 me upon my knees 1290 and [upon] the palms 3709 of my hands 3027.(set: Heb. moved)

10:11 And he said 559 8799 unto me, O Daniel 1840, a man 376 greatly beloved 2532, understand 995 8685 the words 1697 that I speak 1696 8802 unto thee, and stand 5975 8798 upright 5977: for unto thee am I now sent 7971 8795. And when he had spoken 1696 8763 this word 1697 unto me, I stood 5975 8804 trembling 7460 8688.(greatly…: Heb. of desires)(upright: Heb. upon thy standing)

10:12 Then said 559 8799 he unto me, Fear 3372 8799 not, Daniel 1840: for from the first 7223 day 3117 that thou didst set 5414 8804 thine heart 3820 to understand 995 8687, and to chasten 6031 8692 thyself before 6440 thy God 430, thy words 1697 were heard 8085 8738, and I am come 935 8804 for thy words 1697.

10:13 But the prince 8269 of the kingdom 4438 of Persia 6539 withstood 5975 8802 me one 259 and twenty 6242 days 3117: but, lo, Michael 4317, one 259 of the chief 7223 princes 8269, came 935 8804 to help 5826 8800 me; and I remained 3498 8738 there with 681 the kings 4428 of Persia 6539.(chief: or, first)

10:14 Now I am come 935 8804 to make thee understand 995 8687 what shall befall 7136 8799 thy people 5971 in the latter 319 days 3117: for yet the vision 2377 [is] for [many] days 3117.

10:15 And when he had spoken 1696 8763 such words 1697 unto me, I set 5414 8804 my face 6440 toward the ground 776, and I became dumb 481 8738.

10:16 And, behold, [one] like the similitude 1823 of the sons 1121 of men 120 touched 5060 8802 my lips 8193: then I opened 6605 8799 my mouth 6310, and spake 1696 8762, and said 559 8799 unto him that stood 5975 8802 before me, O my lord 113, by the vision 4759 my sorrows 6735 are turned 2015 8738 upon me, and I have retained 6113 8804 no strength 3581.

10:17 For how 1963 can 3201 8799 the servant 5650 of this my lord 113 talk 1696 8763 with this my lord 113? for as for me, straightway 6258 there remained 5975 8799 no strength 3581 in me, neither is there breath 5397 left 7604 8738 in me.(the…: or, this servant of my lord)

10:18 Then there came again 3254 8686 and touched 5060 8799 me [one] like the appearance 4758 of a man 120, and he strengthened 2388 8762 me,

10:19 And said 559 8799, O man 376 greatly beloved 2532, fear 3372 8799 not: peace 7965 [be] unto thee, be strong 2388 8798, yea, be strong 2388 8798. And when he had spoken 1696 8763 unto me, I was strengthened 2388 8694, and said 559 8799, Let my lord 113 speak 1696 8762; for thou hast strengthened 2388 8765 me.

10:20 Then said 559 8799 he, Knowest 3045 8804 thou wherefore I come 935 8804 unto thee? and now will I return 7725 8799 to fight 3898 8736 with the prince 8269 of Persia 6539: and when I am gone forth 3318 8802, lo, the prince 8269 of Grecia 3120 shall come 935 8804.
