Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 32: ἄγγελος (angelos) • This Greek term is equivalent to the Hebrew מַלְאַךְ and is used throughout the New Testament to refer to angels or messengers, both human and divine.

Usage: The term מַלְאַךְ is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the context of divine messengers or angels. It appears in the Book of Daniel, where it refers to heavenly beings who interact with humans on behalf of God.

Context: The term מַלְאַךְ is primarily found in the Aramaic sections of the Book of Daniel, a text that includes both Hebrew and Aramaic languages. In Daniel, angels are depicted as messengers of God, often delivering important revelations or providing protection to God's people. For instance, in Daniel 6:22, Daniel speaks of an angel who shut the mouths of the lions, demonstrating divine intervention and protection. The role of angels as messengers is consistent with their portrayal throughout the Bible, where they serve as intermediaries between God and humans, conveying divine will and executing God's commands. The concept of angels as messengers underscores the belief in a God who is actively involved in the world and communicates with His creation.
