Hebrew, “angel(s),” “envoy,” or “messenger” both human and divine. The noun derives from the root l'k, meaning “to send with a message” and is associated with and in the noun “Mel’akah,” meaning “work,” “occupation” or “craftsmanship.” 1 Moses 28:26 describes the malakim that met with Abraham and Sarah as “holy men,” while the “angel of YHVH” is literally Malak of YHVH. Thus, a malak or angel may be a human or a “supernatural” or divine being.
