Narrative
The narrative setting takes place during the third year of Cyrus king of Persia on the twenty-fourth day of the first month. The prophet Daniel was on the banks of the Tigris River. When he looked up, he saw the figure of a man standing before him dressed in white linen. Although his companions fled in terror, they saw nothing. Daniel faints and has a dream where the angel Gabriel speaks of conflicts between the King of North and King of the South.
