Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 8 of Daniel. Daniel seeks to understand the vision, and the angel Gabriel is given the task of explaining it. Daniel’s reaction again shows that symbolic revelation requires interpretation. Gabriel connects the vision with an appointed time and with events related to the end of a determined period. The expression “time of wrath” places political events within a framework of divine judgment and purpose.

Und da er mit mir redete, sank ich in eine Ohnmacht zur Erde auf mein Angesicht. Er aber rührte mich an und richtete mich auf, daß ich stand.
Y estando él hablando conmigo, caí dormido en tierra sobre mi rostro: y él me tocó, e hízome estar en pie.
Comme il me parlait, je restai frappé d'étourdissement, la face contre terre. Il me toucha, et me fit tenir debout à la place où je me trouvais.
E mentre egli parlava a me, mi addormentai profondamente, con la faccia in terra; ma egli mi toccò, e mi fece rizzare in piè, nel luogo dove io stava.
E, estando ele falando comigo, caí adormecido com o rosto em terra; ele, porém, me tocou, e me fez estar em pé.
他對我說話的時候,我正沉睡,臉伏於地。他就摸我,扶我站起來。
