In this reading, the angel describes the action he is doing by God's command. It may also be read as a quotation, i.e. the angel reports that God says "I sent the angel so I may bestow."
لِيَهَبَ
li-yahaba*
“so He may bestow upon you”
This reading is most evidently a third-person verb meaning that God bestows the child. However, it may be based on a lightened pronunciation of the hamzah as in the other reading. *NB: Qālūn from Nāfiʿ has a second narration agreeing with the majority.

These readings are either identical in meaning, or they amount to the same meaning [Makki]. Numerous authorities have stated that the Codices agree on the alif spelling, so the other reading is superimposed on that.
He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
