‏ Daniel 10:6

6 His body resembled yellow jasper, ^{▼▼tn 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, NIV84 “chrysolite”; NASB, NRSV “beryl”; NIV11 “topaz”).} and his face had an appearance like lightning. His eyes were like blazing torches; ^{▼▼tn Heb “torches of fire.”} his arms and feet had the gleam of polished bronze. His voice ^{▼▼tn Heb “The sound of his words” (cf. v. 9).} thundered forth like the sound of a large crowd.
