Daniel 10,6

4 På den tjuefjerde dagen i den første måneden, mens jeg sto ved bredden av den store elven, Tigris,

5 løftet jeg mine øyne og så en mann kledd i lin, med et belte av rent gull fra Ufas rundt livet.

Hans kropp var som topas, hans ansikt skinte som lyn, hans øyne var som brennende fakler, hans armer og føtter glinset som polert bronse, og hans stemme var som lyden av en mengde.

7 Jeg, Daniel, var den eneste som så synet; mennene med meg så det ikke, men en stor frykt falt over dem, og de flyktet for å gjemme seg.

8 Slik ble jeg alene tilbake, stirrende på dette store synet; min styrke forlot meg, min ansiktsfarge ble dødblek, og jeg var maktesløs.
