What the Book of Daniel says about angels Gabriel and Michael The Book of Daniel is one of the richest sources in the Hebrew Bible for angelic figures: it names the angel Gabriel and, separately, the chief of the heavenly host, Michael. Both appear as active characters, not just messengers in the abstract—Gabriel interprets Daniel’s visions, and Michael fights.
