- Why does the text find it necessary to indicate that “Daniel, was called Belteshazzar” unless, possibly, Daniel 10 comes from another author or, the phrase was added by an editor?
- The end of Daniel 10:1 deals with “the thing was true” and “the thing could be understood in a vision” — does this explain the comment that “the meaning is uncertain?”
- Why, according to Daniel 10:2-3 was Daniel in mourning?
- Once again, in Daniel 10:5, reference is made to “a man” but, from the description which follows, is it clear whether this was a human shape or a human being?
- Is there any indication in Daniel 10:7-11 why Daniel is the only one who “saw the vision” and why he is described as a “precious man?”
- In Daniel 10:14, what is the purpose of the “messenger?”
- In Daniel 10:21, is there any explanation of the “Book of Truth?”
