Daniel 10:10

“And, behold, an hand touched me, etc.] Not the hand of the man clothed with linen, whose voice he heard, and whose hand was like polished brass, (<271006>Daniel 10:6), but the hand of one distinct from him, one of his attendants, (<271205>Daniel 12:5,6) that had the similitude of the sons of men, (<271016>Daniel 10:16), and whose hand was softer, and nearer a human one; very probably the hand of the Angel Gabriel in human form, who had touched him before, when in the like circumstances, (<270816>Daniel 8:16,18): which set me upon my knees, and upon the palms of my hands; or, “which caused him to move”f474; from the prostrate condition in which he was, and raised him up a little upon his…”

“an hand--namely, of Gabriel, who interpreted other revelations to Daniel (Dan 8:16) [THEODORET]. set me upon my knees--GESENIUS translates, "cause me to reel on my knees," &c.”

“And, behold, an hand touched me - The hand of the angel. Compare Daniel 8:18. Which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands - Not “upright,” as in Daniel 8:18. That is, he had not strength given him at once to stand erect, but he was partially raised up and enabled to move, though in a feeble and tottering manner. The word used here (נוע nôa‛) means to move to and fro; to waver; to vacillate; and the sense here, as expressed by Gesenius (Lexicon) is, “lo, a hand touched me, and caused me to reel (i. e., to stand reeling and trembling) upon my knees and hands.” He was gradually restored to strength. return to 'Top of Page'”
