Daniel 10:10

And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. The LXX . agrees with this, but does not bring out any more than this the pregnant sense of the Hebrew. This is given in the margin of the Revised, "Set me tottering on my knees," etc. Strangely enough, the LXX . renders, "soles of my feet "—an impossible attitude; that this is the true reading of the LXX . is confirmed by Paulus Telleusis. Theodotion omits "the palms of the hands." The Peshitta renders as the LXX . The Vulgate renders כַּפוֹת by articulos , "joints." An hand touched me .

Which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. Although the touch communicated to Daniel some strength, yet he was unable to raise himself so as to look up—his face was still to the ground, his attitude was still one of abasement, and he was trembling.
