Gabriel's Vision of Revelations

FYI only: I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this. However, a pdf describing Israel Knohl's further efforts to fill lacunae is available:

“By Three Days, Live”: Messiahs, Resurrection, and Ascent to Heaven in Hazon Gabriel*
Israel Knohl
Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Ada Yardeni and Binyamin Elitzur have recently published a fascinating text of an apocalypse transmitted by the angel Gabriel, which they suggest calling Hazon Gabriel (the Vision of Gabriel). Based on its linguistic features, they date the text, written in Hebrew on stone, to the late first century BCE. This suggestion is corroborated by the paleographic evidence, which points to the late first century BCE or the early first century CE ... Line 80 of the text begins with the words ... (by three days), after which the editors read the letter het followed by three undecipherable letters and then the words ... (I Gabriel). In my opinion, the word that the editors read only partially is completely legible ... The context implies that the angel Gabriel addresses someone and tells him: “by three days, ... live/ be resurrected!” (cf. Ezek. 16:6: “In your blood, Live < >.”) ... Since the text is not preserved in its entirety, we cannot definitively identity the person whom the angel Gabriel orders to come to life by three days ... As we saw above, the text mentions Ephraim, the Messiah son of Joseph who, according to the Jewish tradition, was killed in battle and is resurrected by the Messiah son of David ...

The second observation: the text is dated by paleography. But one expects writing styles to pass through scribal lineages, and lacking the context of the object, the expert should be at some disadvantage in attempting paleographic dating

The third observation: the text is highly fragmentary, and various scholars disagree on how much reconstruction is actually possible. In particular, Knohl claims to see a resurrection reference in line 80 that other examiners do not see, but he fails to see definite evidence about who is resurrected
