What does Daniel 10:9 mean?
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.
