Daniel 8:18

8:18 As he spoke with me, I fell into a trance with my face to the ground. But he touched me and stood me upright. ¹ 

Daniel 11:1

11:1 And in the first year of Darius the Mede, I ²  stood to strengthen him and to provide protection for him.)

[8:18]  ¹ tn Heb “on my standing.”

[11:1]  ² sn The antecedent of the pronoun “I” is the angel, not Daniel. The traditional chapter division at this point, and the presence of a chronological note in the verse similar to ones used elsewhere in the book to position Daniel’s activities in relation to imperial affairs, sometimes lead to confusion on this matter.
