Daniel 10:4 — Meaning and Application

In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. {full...: Heb. weeks of days}

I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. {pleasant...: Heb. bread of desires}

And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which {is} Hiddekel;

Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins {were} girded with fine gold of Uphaz: {a...: Heb. one man}

His body also {was} like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
