9 I listened to his voice,[a] and as I did so[b] I fell into a trance-like sleep with my face to the ground. 10 Then[c] a hand touched me and set me on my hands and knees.[d] 11 He said to me, “Daniel, you are of great value.[e] Understand the words that I am about to[f] speak to you. So stand up,[g] for I have now been sent to you.” When he said this[h] to me, I stood up shaking.
