Context — Daniel's Vision and Its Impactgenerated

7Only I, Daniel, saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but a great terror fell upon them, and they ran and hid themselves.
8So I was left alone, gazing at this great vision. No strength remained in me; my face grew deathly pale, and I was powerless.
9I heard the sound of his words, and as I listened, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground.
10Suddenly, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.

Daniel 10:8 describes Daniel's experience after seeing a significant vision that left him feeling isolated and weak. The context shows that he was the only one who saw the vision, while others around him were terrified and fled. This moment highlights Daniel's vulnerability and the overwhelming nature of divine revelations.

The Key Word נִשְׁאַ֣רְתִּי, nish.'Ar.tigenerated

The verb שָׁאַר, transliterated as sha'ar, means 'to remain' or 'to be left over.' In this verse, it is in the Niphal form, indicating that Daniel was left alone, emphasizing his isolation in the face of the vision.

This construction implies that Daniel did not choose to be alone; rather, he was left behind by others, underscoring the depth of his solitude and the weight of what he experienced.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'So I was left alone,' which is consistent across the KJV and ASV, maintaining the same meaning.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main clause is governed by the verb נִשְׁאַ֣רְתִּי, I was left, with several phrases providing context: a prepositional phrase indicating isolation, a noun phrase describing what he saw, and clauses detailing his physical state and feelings.

The structure highlights the sequence of events and Daniel's emotional response, with the main action of being left alone emphasized at the beginning.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates נִשְׁאַ֣רְתִּי as κατελείφθην, which means 'I was left behind.' This choice aligns with the Hebrew meaning but may imply a more passive experience of being abandoned.

This translation reflects a similar sense of isolation but could suggest a different nuance regarding Daniel's agency in the situation.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Egyptian saws, so far as has yet been discovered, are single-handed. As is the case in modern Oriental saws, the teeth usually incline toward the handle, instead of away from it like ours. They have, in most cases, bronze blades, apparently attached to the handles by leathern thongs. No evidence exists of the use of the saw applied to stone in Egypt, but we read of sawn stones used in the temple. (1 Kings 7:9) The saws "under" or "in" which David is said to have placed his captives were of iron. The expression in (2 Samuel 12:31) does not necessarily imply torture, but the word "cut" in (1 Chronicles 20:3) can hardly be understood otherwise.

אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite. The word is derived from a demonstrative sense of entity, related to the Hebrew word for 'self.' Its Aramaic equivalent is יָת (yat).

vizh'-un (chazon, chizzayon, mar'ah; horama, optasia): Psychologists find that man is prevailingly and persistently "eye-minded." That is, in his waking life he is likely to think, imagine and remember in terms of vision. Naturally then, his dreaming is predominantly visual; so strongly visual, we are told, that it is not rare to find dreams defined as "trains of fantastic images." Whether man was made this way in order that God might communicate with him through dreams and visions is hardly worth debating; if the records of human life, in the Bible and out of it, are to be trusted at all, there is nothing better certified than that God has communicated with man in this way (Ps 89:19; Pr 29:18; compare Am 8:11,12;
