When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it; then behold, standing before me was one who looked like a man.

And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

Now as he (Gabriel) was speaking with me, I drifted into a deep sleep (unconsciousness) with my face to the ground; but he touched me and made me stand [where I had stood before].

Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.

And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.

And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

So Gabriel went into the house and said to her, "Joy be to you, favoured one! the Lord is with you."
