Daniel 9:21-23

Common English Bible

²¹ while I was still speaking this prayer, the man Gabriel approached me at the time of the evening offering. This was the same Gabriel I had seen in my earlier vision. He was weary with exhaustion.^[a]

²² He explained as he spoke with me: “Daniel, here’s why I’ve come: to give you insight and understanding. ²³ When you began making your requests, a word went out, and I’ve come to tell it to you because you are greatly treasured. So now understand this word and grasp the meaning of this vision!
