Daniel 8:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ And I heard a man’s voice calling from the Ulai ·Canal [or Gate]: “Gabriel [^Can angel], explain the vision to this man.”

¹⁷ ·Gabriel [^LHe] came to where I was standing. When he came close to me, I was ·very afraid [terrified; or overwhelmed] and ·bowed facedown on the ground [^Lfell on my face]. But ·Gabriel [^Lhe] said to me, “·Human being [^LSon of man], understand that this vision is about the time of the end.”

¹⁸ While ·Gabriel [^Lhe] was speaking, I fell into a ·deep sleep [trance] with my face on the ground. Then he touched me [^Cstrengthening him] and ·lifted me to my feet [^Lmade me stand in my place].
