This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The vision; so called either strictly and properly, because he was awake when this was revealed to him; or largely and improperly, for any extraordinary discovery of God’s mind to him, whether sleeping or waking. A trance, or ecstasy, fainting and falling upon the ground, as the prophets used to do. See 1Sa_19:24 Eze_1:28 3:23 43:3 Dan_8:17,18 10:15 Rev_1:17. Others, falling suddenly into a sleep, as the prophets sometimes did, as Gen_15:12 Dan_8:18.
