Daniel 10:6

6 His body resembled yellow jasper, ^{▼▼ The Hebrew word translated “yellow jasper” is תַּרשִׁישׁ (tarshish); it appears to be a semiprecious stone, but its exact identity is somewhat uncertain. It may be the yellow jasper, although this is conjectural. Cf. NAB, NIV “chrysolite”; NASB, NRSV “beryl.”} and his face had an appearance like lightning. His eyes were like blazing torches; ^{▼▼ Heb “torches of fire.”} his arms and feet had the gleam of polished bronze. His voice ^{▼▼ Heb “The sound of his words” (cf. v. 9).} thundered forth like the sound of a large crowd.
