Angels in Hebrew
Discover a New Significance in Scripture
The Divine Messengers
The Bible is full of stories in which God communicates with human beings through spiritual emissaries known as “angels.” In Hebrew the word for angel is malakh (מלאך) which means “one who is sent.” Most of the Biblical angels are unidentified, but the most important archangels have names: Michael and Gabriel. Do you know what these Hebrew names actually mean?
Four Sacred Hebrew Names
Michael is comprised of two Hebrew words: Mi (מי) + Ka-El (כאל) meaning, “Who is like God?”. Gabriel is also comprised of two Hebrew words: Gavar (גבר) + El (אל) meaning, “God is mighty”. Outside the Bible, the apocryphal tradition adds two more angelic names. Uriel which comes from the words Uri (ארי) + El (אל) means “Light of God”. Raphael from the word Refa (רפא) + El (אל) means “God heals”.
Receive the Scriptures as God intended
What do these names have in common? The ending “El” - one of the most sacred names of God in Hebrew. This is fitting because the role of an angel is to serve as God’s messenger, bringing good tidings. Are you prepared to discover the Bible’s secrets?

Thanks, I knew the EL part and had forgotten the other meanings. Makes sense since they are also called the Sons of God. Superman comics used the same kind of word for Superman's dad Jor-el. I wonder if some angels make up the 'divine council' of Psalms 82:1 or if all 'unfallen angels' are council members.
