Read It With
- Daniel 10:1–3
Read Daniel 10:1 with 10:1–3. Daniel 10:1 opens this movement with “In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose…”. The complete unit establishes this movement: In Cyrus's third year Daniel understands a true but difficult disclosure after three weeks of mourning and dietary restraint.
Why It Needs Context
Daniel 10:1 depends on 10:1–3; isolated teaching would detach “In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose…” from “Date, Disclosure, Mourning, and Restricted Food.”
