Daniel 10:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.

Now while he was talking with me, I sank into a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me and made me stand upright.

So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.

Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, terror and great darkness fell upon him.

“Amid disquieting thoughts from the visions of the night,
When deep sleep falls on men,

“In a dream, a vision of the night,
When sound sleep falls on men,
While they slumber in their beds,

“I was asleep but my heart was awake.
A voice! My beloved was knocking:
‘Open to me, my sister, my darling,

My dove, my perfect one!

For my head is drenched with dew,
My locks with the damp of the night.’

Now Peter and his companions had been overcome with sleep; but when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him.

When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,

Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,

Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces in the presence of all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel.

When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground and were terrified.
