Charles Ellicott Commentary Daniel 10:15

"and when he had spoken unto me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb." — Daniel 10:15 (ASV)

I set my face.—The conduct of Daniel described in this verse is not to be attributed to his fear, for that had already been driven away (Daniel 10:12), but to his reverence for the majestic person who was before him, and to the gratitude that he felt for the answer to his prayer .
