Exegesis

The coordinating clause veha’anashim asher hayu ’immi {וְהָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ עִמִּי | wə-hā-ʾă-nā-šîm ʾă-šer hā-yû ʿim-mî} “and the men who were with me” is followed by the negated verb lo ra’u et hammar’ah {לֹא רָאוּ אֶת־הַמַּרְאָה | lōʾ rā-ʾû ʾeṯ ham-mar-ʾāh} “did not see the vision,” which contrasts with Daniel’s perception.

In contextDaniel 10:7

And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, and the men who were with me did not see it, but a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.
