Daniele 8:18 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 8:18

Now as he was speaking with me
Addressing him in the above manner: I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground;
through fear he fell prostrate to the ground, and swooned away, which issued in a deep sleep; and so was unfit to attend to the explanation of the vision the angel was sent to give him; and which was not through indifference to it, or neglect of it; but through human weakness, his nature not being able to bear up under such circumstances, which struck him with such fear and dread: but he touched me, and set me upright;
he jogged him out of his sleep, and took him, and raised him up, and set him on his feet; or, "on his standing" F13; which Ben Melech explains, as he "was standing at first"; and so in a better posture to attend to what was about to be revealed unto him.

Daniele 8:18 In-Context

16 Ed io udii la voce d’un uomo, nel mezzo di Ulai, il qual gridò, e disse: Gabriele, dichiara a costui la visione.
17 Ed esso venne presso del luogo dove io stava; e quando fu venuto, io fui spaventato, e caddi sopra la mia faccia; ed egli mi disse: Intendi, figliuol d’uomo; perciocchè questa visione è per lo tempo della fine.
18 E mentre egli parlava a me, mi addormentai profondamente, con la faccia in terra; ma egli mi toccò, e mi fece rizzare in piè, nel luogo dove io stava.
19 E disse: Ecco, io ti farò assapere ciò che avverrà, alla fine dell’indegnazione; perciocchè vi sarà una fine al tempo ordinato.
20 Il montone con due corna, che tu hai veduto, significa i re di Media, e di Persia.
