   The singular form names what Daniel alone saw in Daniel 10:7 and the great sight that left him without strength in Daniel 10:8; in Daniel 10:16 the APB renders the setting as “in the vision.” The same use includes God making himself known to a prophet in Numbers 12:6, Samuel's feared report to Eli in 1 Samuel 3:15, and plural construct forms in Ezekiel 1:1, Ezekiel 8:3, Ezekiel 40:2, and Genesis 46:2, where the APB renders “visions of God” or “visions of the night.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term with “vision” or “visions,” including “visions of God” and “visions of the night.” These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than establish separate lexical senses.
