“And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.”
One resembling the son of man touches Daniel's lips, enabling him to speak and to address the angelic visitor—restoring capacity for communication and preparing Daniel to ask clarifying questions about the prophecy. The figure "like the son of man" may indicate a high angelic being or pre-incarnate Christ, emphasizing the supernatural nature of the enablement. The restoration of speech allows dialogue and clarification essential for understanding.
