Daniel 10:7

10:7 Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men who were with me did not see it. ⁴  On the contrary, they were overcome with fright ⁵  and ran away to hide.

[10:21]  ¹ tn Heb “a book of truth.” Several English versions treat this as a title of some sort (cf. NIV, NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT), although the NAB’s rendering “the truthful book” regards “truth” as an attributive adjective, as does the present translation.

[10:21]  ² tn The word “princes” is supplied for clarity.

[10:21]  ³ tn The pronoun is plural in Hebrew, suggesting that Michael is the angelic prince of Daniel and his people.

[10:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “the vision.”

[10:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “great trembling fell on them.”
