‘Yet I heard the voice of his words, and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face towards the ground.'
The rolling thunder of the man's voice continued even as Daniel collapsed to the ground and hid himself from the glorious sight, and then fell into a swoon, a deep unnatural sleep, with his face towards the ground (compare Daniel 8:18; Genesis 2:21; Genesis 15:12). The whole thing was too much for him.
