Context — Daniel's Visiongenerated
Daniel 10:7 describes a moment where Daniel witnesses a profound vision, while those accompanying him are engulfed by fear and unable to perceive what he sees. This passage highlights the distinction between the prophet's insight and the fear experienced by others, setting the stage for the divine messages Daniel is to receive. The surrounding context in Daniel 10:6 and Daniel 10:8 further emphasizes the intensity of the vision and the physical and emotional toll it takes on Daniel.

The Key Word — וְרָאִיתִי֩, ve.ra.'i.Tigenerated
The verb רָאָה (ra'ah) means 'to see' and encompasses a range of visual actions, from literal sight to figurative understanding. In this context, it indicates Daniel's unique ability to perceive a divine vision that others cannot.
The parsing as a sequential perfect first person common singular indicates that Daniel is speaking from his own experience, affirming his role as the sole witness to the vision while emphasizing the contrast with his companions.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations of this verse are consistent, all rendering וְרָאִיתִי as 'I saw' and maintaining the distinction between Daniel's vision and the companions' inability to see it.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main finite verb is וְרָאִיתִי, and I saw, which governs the entire sentence. It is followed by a series of clauses that detail Daniel's experience and the reactions of those with him.
The structure reveals a clear contrast: Daniel's perception of the vision is juxtaposed with the fear and flight of his companions, emphasizing his unique role in this divine encounter.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates וְרָאִיתִי as εἶδον, which also means 'I saw.' This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning, maintaining the emphasis on Daniel's unique sight.
The Greek term used for 'terror' is not directly equivalent to חֲרָדָה, indicating a slight shift in nuance, but still conveys the overwhelming fear experienced by those around Daniel.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Daniel 10:7 tells us that only Daniel saw the vision while the men with him did not see it. They were overcome by a great terror, which caused them to flee and hide themselves.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
This indicates that Daniel had a unique prophetic experience, set apart from those around him who could not perceive the vision.
The text suggests that they were not worthy or prepared to witness such a divine revelation, leading to their overwhelming fear.
The terror signifies the weight of divine presence and the impact of the vision, illustrating how encounters with the divine can invoke fear.
Similar to other prophetic accounts, such as those in Ezekiel and Isaiah, Daniel's vision highlights the awe and fear that often accompany divine revelations.

- How can we understand the fear experienced by those who were not prepared to see the vision?
- In what ways can we seek to be more receptive to God's messages in our lives?

Egyptian saws, so far as has yet been discovered, are single-handed. As is the case in modern Oriental saws, the teeth usually incline toward the handle, instead of away from it like ours. They have, in most cases, bronze blades, apparently attached to the handles by leathern thongs. No evidence exists of the use of the saw applied to stone in Egypt, but we read of sawn stones used in the temple. (1 Kings 7:9) The saws "under" or "in" which David is said to have placed his captives were of iron. The expression in (2 Samuel 12:31) does not necessarily imply torture, but the word "cut" in (1 Chronicles 20:3) can hardly be understood otherwise.
אֲנִי, transliterated as aniy, is a first-person singular pronoun meaning 'I' or 'me.' It is often used for emphasis and can also imply possession, as in 'mine' or 'myself.'

דָּנִיֵּאל, or Daniyel, means 'God is my judge.' It refers primarily to the prophet Daniel, a significant figure during the Babylonian exile, known for his wisdom and interpretations of dreams. The name also applies to a son of David and a priest from the line of Ithamar. The entries indicate that Daniel is both a prophet and a historical figure, but they do not present any significant disagreements.

1. Early Life:
We know nothing of the early life of Daniel, except what is recorded in the book bearing his name. Here it is said that he was one of the youths of royal or noble seed, who were carried captive by Nebuchadnezzar in the third year of Jehoiakim, king of Judah. These youths were without blemish, well-favored, skillful in all wisdom, endued with knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability to stand in the king's palace. The king commanded to teach them the…
Daniel
God is my judge, or judge of God. (1.) David’s second son, “born unto him in Hebron, of Abigail the Carmelitess” (1 Chr. 3:1). He is called also Chileab (2 Sam. 3:3).
(2.) One of the four great prophets, although he is not once spoken of in the Old Testament as a prophet. His life and prophecies are recorded in the Book of Daniel. He was descended from one of the noble families of Judah (Dan. 1:3), and was probably born in Jerusalem about B.C. 623, during the reign of Josiah. At the first deportation of the Jews by Nebuchadnezzar (the kingdom of Israel had come to an end nearly a century before), or immediately after his victory over the Egyptians at the second battle of Carchemish, in the fourth year of the reign of…
(judgment of God). The second son of David, by Abigail the Carmelitess. (1 Chronicles 3:1) In (2 Samuel 3:3) he is called Chileab. (B.C. about 1051.) The fourth of ’the greater prophets." Nothing is known of his parentage or family. He appears, however, to have been of royal or noble descent, (Daniel 1:3) and to have possessed considerable personal endowments. (Daniel 1:4) He was taken to Babylon in "the third year of Jehoiakim" (B.C. 604), and trained for the king’s service. He was divinely supported in his resolve to abstain from the "king’s meat" for fear of defilement. (Daniel 1:8-16) At the close of his three years…
1. Called Belteshazzar by the Chaldeans, a prophet descended from the royal family of David, who was carried captive to Babylon, when very young, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim king of Judah, B. C. 606. He was chosen, with his three companions, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, to reside at Nebuchadnezzar’s court, where he received a suitable education, and made great progress in all the sciences of the Chaldeans, but declined to pollute himself by eating provisions from the king’s table, which would often be ceremonially unclean to a Jew, or defiled by some connection with idol-worship. At the end of their three years’ education, Daniel and his companions excelled all others, and received honorable appointments in the royal service. Here Daniel soon displayed his prophetic gifts in interpreting a dream of Nebuchadnezzar, by whom he was made governor of Babylon, and head of the learned…

vizh'-un (chazon, chizzayon, mar'ah; horama, optasia): Psychologists find that man is prevailingly and persistently "eye-minded." That is, in his waking life he is likely to think, imagine and remember in terms of vision. Naturally then, his dreaming is predominantly visual; so strongly visual, we are told, that it is not rare to find dreams defined as "trains of fantastic images." Whether man was made this way in order that God might communicate with him through dreams and visions is hardly worth debating; if the records of human life, in the Bible and out of it, are to be trusted at all, there is nothing better certified than that God has communicated with man in this way (Ps 89:19; Pr 29:18; compare Am 8:11,12;

Egyptian saws, so far as has yet been discovered, are single-handed. As is the case in modern Oriental saws, the teeth usually incline toward the handle, instead of away from it like ours. They have, in most cases, bronze blades, apparently attached to the handles by leathern thongs. No evidence exists of the use of the saw applied to stone in Egypt, but we read of sawn stones used in the temple. (1 Kings 7:9) The saws "under" or "in" which David is said to have placed his captives were of iron. The expression in (2 Samuel 12:31) does not necessarily imply torture, but the word "cut" in (1 Chronicles 20:3) can hardly be understood otherwise.
