Daniel 10:10

Ver. 10. And, behold, an hand touched me,.... Not the hand of the man clothed with linen, whose voice he heard, and whose hand was like polished brass, Da 10:6, but the hand of one distinct from him, one of his attendants, Da 12:5 that had the similitude of the sons of men, Da 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, Da 8:16:

which set me upon my knees, and upon the palms of my hands; or, "which caused him to move" {t}; from the prostrate condition in which he was, and raised him up a little upon his hands; so that, with a little difficulty, he might be able to raise himself to stand upright.

{t} yneynt "movere fecit me", Pagninus, Montanus; "commovit me", Junius & Tremellius, Cocceius; "movit me", Tigurine version, Michaelis.
