Angels in Judaism

In Zoroastrianism there are, as in other religions, Malakhim for angels and demons Daevas. Malakh is the singular of Malakhim.

The Hebrew Bible records Malakhim, especially as messengers of God, published in the various patriarchs. In Genesis 16:9, they appeared to Hagar, Lot in Genesis 19:1 and Abraham in Genesis 22:11. They were going up and coming down on Jacob's ladder in Genesis 29:12 and Jacob appeared even in Genesis 31:11-13. God promised Moses a Malakhim to send in Exodus 33:2 and sent a Balaam's way in Numbers 23:31.

In contrast to the Cherubim and Seraphim, which are considered worshiper and soldier of God, the Malakhim are to be understood rather as messengers of God's moral will of the people. The term malakh has remained similarly obtained around the Orient in many languages ​​such as Turkish and also in Kurdish as Melek.
