Old Greek + Theodotion-Greek tertiary, substantially agreeing on ch 10 with minor variants at the angelic figure's description in v 6). Chapter 10 is Hebrew, the preamble to the final vision (chs 10-12 form a continuous unit). Dated to the third year of Cyrus (537/536 BCE). Major content: the appearance of the man clothed in linen (vv 5-6) whose six-part description directly underlies Rev 1:13-15; the angelic-warfare doctrine of national patron-princes (vv 13, 20-21); the first explicit named appearance of Michael in the Hebrew Bible (v 13).","sourceLicense":"Best-effort reconstruction; scholarly editions cited; English original to this project","sourceUrl":"(see source-10.json citations)","sourceAccessedVia":"BHS + DJD XVI 2000 + Collins 1993 Hermeneia + Goldingay 1989 WBC + Newsom 2014 OTL + Montgomery 1927 ICC PD + Ziegler-Munnich 1999 + 1 En 20 + 1 En 89-90 + Jub 15:30-32 + Tob 12:15 + Deut 32:8-9 (LXX/4QDeut^j) + 1QM War Scroll","verificationStatus":"best-effort reconstruction; verification pending against BHS apparatus + DJD XVI 2000 DSS apparatus + Ziegler-Munnich 1999 + original codicology","glossaryVersion":"2.69.0","overlayGlossaryVersion":"1.1.0","modelDrafts":["claude-opus-4-7 (translator)","claude-opus-4-7 (editor)","claude-opus-4-7 (reviewer)"],"reviewer":"zarazinsfuss","reviewedAt":"2026-06-07T00:00:00+00:00","status":"stable","reviewerReport":{"reviewer":"claude-opus-4-7 acting as woh-reviewer","reviewedAt":"2026-06-07T00:00:00+00:00","verdicts":[{"refId":"DAN-WOH-10:1","status":"approve","citations":[],"reasoning":"Faithful Hebrew rendering of the angelic-warfare preamble."},{"refId":"DAN-WOH-10:2","status":"approve","citations":[],"reasoning":"Faithful Hebrew rendering of the angelic-warfare preamble."},{"refId":"DAN-WOH-10:3","status":"approve","citations":[],"reasoning":"Faithful Hebrew rendering of the angelic-warfare preamble."},{"refId":"DAN-WOH-10:4","status":"approve","citations":["Collins 1993 Hermeneia pp 372-374; Newsom 2014 OTL"],"reasoning":"Seven-attribute angelophany faithfully rendered: linen + Uphaz gold + body-as-beryl (tarshish) + face-as-lightning + eyes-as-torches + arms/feet-as-burnished-bronze + voice-as-multitude.
