King James Bible
"Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river."
Daniel shifts from receiving the prophecy to witnessing a new scene, with 'behold' signaling something significant is about to unfold. This personal eyewitness language emphasizes the vision's authenticity and Daniel's role as both participant and recorder. Two additional figures appear beyond the initial angelic messenger from earlier chapters. Their introduction as 'other two' distinguishes them from the speaking angel while maintaining the mysterious quality typical of apocalyptic beings. The figures stand on opposite banks of the river (likely the Tigris from 10:4), creating a scene of divine witnesses flanking the waterway. This positioning suggests their role as heavenly observers or participants in the cosmic drama about to unfold, with the river serving as a symbolic boundary.
