9 Contudo, ouvi a voz das suas palavras; e, ouvindo o som das suas palavras, eu caí num profundo sono, com o rosto em terra.

Daniel 10:9 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 10:9

Yet heard I the voice of his words
Though he was struck with so much awe, and his spirits so greatly depressed, and his body reduced to so low a condition; yet he was capable of attending to the voice, and of hearing the articulate sounds pronounced, and of understanding what was said: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on
my face, and my face toward the ground;
as soon as he heard his words, he fell upon his face to the ground, either in a way of worship and adoration, of prayer and supplication, as the Arabic version suggests; or through awe and reverence of the speaker, as well as through faintness of spirits; and these being quite exhausted, as it were, might be the reason of his falling into a deep sleep; unless it can be thought he was lulled into it, through the sweetness of the voice he had heard.

Daniel 10:9 In-Context

7 Ora, só eu, Daniel, vi aquela visão; pois os homens que estavam comigo não a viram: não obstante, caiu sobre eles um grande temor, e fugiram para se esconder.

8 Fiquei pois eu só a contemplar a grande visão, e não ficou força em mim; desfigurou-se a feição do meu rosto, e não retive força alguma.

9 Contudo, ouvi a voz das suas palavras; e, ouvindo o som das suas palavras, eu caí num profundo sono, com o rosto em terra.

10 E eis que uma mão me tocou, e fez com que me levantasse, tremendo, sobre os meus joelhos e sobre as palmas das minhas mãos.

11 E me disse: Daniel, homem muito amado, entende as palavras que te vou dizer, e levanta-te sobre os teus pés; pois agora te sou enviado. Ao falar ele comigo esta palavra, pus-me em pé tremendo.
