• Michael appears as "one of the chief princes" (Daniel 10:13) Michael who in Daniel's vision comes to the Lord's
• aid
• in his
• contest with the leader of Persia, and is also described there as the advocate of Israel and "great prince (or
• leader) who
• stands up for the children of your (Daniel's) people" (Daniel 10:21, 12:1). The Talmudic tradition rendered his
• name
• as
• meaning "who is like El ("God"but literally "El's Likeness")" (compare the late prophet Micah), but according
