American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God;
yea, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, {Or, being sore wearied}being caused to fly swiftly, {Or, came near unto me}touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
And he {Or, made me to understand}instructed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee wisdom and understanding.
At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment went forth, and I am come to tell thee; for thou art {Or, very precious Hebrew: precious things.}greatly beloved: therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision.
Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things.
