In like manner, in Joshua 5:13 we read, "There stood a man over against him;" and in Genesis 18:2 , Genesis 18:16 ; Genesis 19:10 , Genesis 19:12 , Genesis 19:16 , we read of "the men;" and in 13:6 , 13:8 , 13:10 , 13:11 , of "the man of God;" the persons spoken of in all these cases being angels. Gabriel, too, means "man of God." In white apparel , typical of perfect holiness, and of the glory which belongs to the inhabitants of heaven.
