¹⁹ And the angel answered him, “I am ^(A)Gabriel. ^(B)I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.

³⁶ And at the time of ^(A)the offering of the oblation, Elijah the prophet came near and said, “O Lord, ^(B)God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that ^(C)you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that ^(D)I have done all these things at your word.

² Above him stood the seraphim. Each had ^(A)six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
