⁴ On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, while I was beside the bank of the great Tigris^[a] River, ⁵ I lifted up my eyes to look, and to my surprise, there was a certain man dressed in linen, whose waist was encircled with gold from Uphaz! ⁶ His body was like beryl,^[b] his face flashed like lightning, his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and legs were like polished bronze, and his speech roared^[c] like that of a crowd.
