9 But the sound of his words came to my ears, and on hearing his voice I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth.
Now while he was talking to me, I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth: but touching me, he put me on my feet where I had been.
Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep came on Abram, and a dark cloud of fear.
And the Lord God sent a deep sleep on the man, and took one of the bones from his side while he was sleeping, joining up the flesh again in its place:
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep comes on men, while they take their rest on their beds;

Commentary on Daniel 10 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 10
This chapter and the two next (which conclude this book) make up one entire vision and prophecy, which was communicated to Daniel for the use of the church, not by signs and figures, as before (ch. 7 and 8), but by express words; and this was about two years after the vision in the foregoing chapter.
