OET (OET-LV) And_I_lifted_up DOM eyes_of_my and_I_saw and_BEHOLD/LO/SEE a_man one clothed linen(s) and_loins_of_his were_girded with_(the)_gold_of ʼŪfāz.

OET (OET-RV) When I looked up, to my surprise there was a man there dressed in linen with a belt of pure gold from Ufaz around his waist.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–12:13: Daniel saw a vision of an angelic man and the end of the age

In this long final vision, Daniel was told of events leading up to the end of the age.

Paragraph 10:4–6

Daniel wrote that he saw a vision of an awe-inspiring man dressed in linen.

10:5a

I lifted up my eyes, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen,

I lifted up my eyes, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as I lifted up my eyes is literally “I raised my eyes.” This is an idiom indicating that Daniel looked up and around. When he did so, he noticed a man wearing linen clothing. Here are some other ways to translate this:

I looked up and saw a man clothed in linen (NET)

I looked up and saw someone dressed in linen (CEV)

and behold, there was: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as and behold, there was is literally “and I saw and behold.” This phrase indicates that Daniel suddenly saw something unusual or interesting. It calls attention to the following information. You should focus attention on what Daniel saw in a way that is natural in your language. Here are some other ways to translate this:

and looked, and behold (RSV)

I looked up and to my surprise saw (MSG)

suddenly there stood/came before me

suddenly I could see

a certain man dressed in linen: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as a certain man is the usual word for a man, a male human. The description that follows suggests that he was not an ordinary man, but a divine being or angel. Some scholars suggest that it was the archangel Gabriel. However, he appeared to be a man, and this is how the word should be translated.

He was wearing clothes made of linen. That is, he was wearing clothes made from the fibers of the flax plant. This was probably the most common type of fabric at this time. (The other common fabric was wool, made from sheep or goat hair. It was warmer and thicker than linen, and less smooth.) Linen clothes were light, fresh, and clean in appearance. Here are some other ways to translate this:

a man dressed in linen clothes (NCV)

a man standing there. He was wearing clothes of linen fabric.

10:5b

with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist.

with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist: The Hebrew text is uncertain here. It more literally says “and his loins were girded with gold of Uphaz.” The location of Uphaz is unknown, and some scholars have suggested that there is an error in the text here. The possibilities are:

  1. the text said “pure/fine gold.” For example:

    and a belt of fine gold (GNT) (GNT, NIV, NJB, NLT, CEV, NCV)

  2. the original text said “gold of/from Ophir.” For example:

    with a belt of Ophir gold round his waist (REB) (REB)

  3. the original text said “gold from Uphaz.” For example:

    whose loins were girded with gold of Uphaz (RSV) (BSB, NIV11, ESV, CSB/HCSB, RSV/NRSV, KJV, NET, GW)

Since the original reading of the text it is uncertain,Perhaps the original text did read “Uphaz,” but presumably Daniel recognized that the gold was from Uphaz because of its fine quality. The BSB, KJV, NASB, ESV, and NIV include both the ideas of “pure/fine” and “Uphaz.” it is recommended that you follow option (1) for translation reasons. The NJB provides a good model:

with a belt of pure gold around his waist (NJB)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וָ⁠אֶשָּׂ֤א אֶת־עֵינַ⁠י֙ וָ⁠אֵ֔רֶא

and,I_lifted_up DOM eyes_of,my and,I_saw

Daniel is using I lifted up my eyes and saw as a common expression of the culture to mean “I looked up and saw.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [then I raised my gaze and saw]

Note 2 topic: writing-foreground

וְ⁠הִנֵּ֥ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,I_lifted_up DOM eyes_of,my and,I_saw and=see/lo/see! (a)_man one(ms) dressed linen and,loins_of,his belt with_(the),gold_of ʼŪfāz )

Daniel is using the term behold to focus his listeners’ attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [there before me]

Note 3 topic: writing-participants

אִישׁ־אֶחָ֖ד לָב֣וּשׁ בַּדִּ֑ים

(a)_man one(ms) dressed linen

Daniel is introducing a man clothed in linen as a new participant in the story. Your language may have its own way of introducing new participants that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [there was a certain man clothed in linen]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וּ⁠מָתְנָ֥י⁠ו חֲגֻרִ֖ים בְּ⁠כֶ֥תֶם אוּפָֽז

and,loins_of,his belt with_(the),gold_of ʼŪfāz

The expression were girded is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [and he had girded his loins with gold of Uphaz]

Note 5 topic: translate-names

אוּפָֽז

ʼŪfāz

The word Uphaz is the name of a place.
