²¹ Gabriel came to me. (I had seen him in my ·last vision [^Lvision in the beginning; 8:1].) ·He came flying quickly to me [or…when I was tired and weary] about the time of the evening sacrifice, while I was still praying. ²² He ·taught me [^Lmade me understand] and said to me, “Daniel, I have come [^Lout now] to give you wisdom and to help you understand. ²³ ·When you first started praying [^LAt the beginning of your supplication], an ·answer [^Lword] ·was given [^Lwent out], and I came to tell you, because ·God loves you very much [^Lyou are favored/coveted/desired].
