In the context of the Bible, it is most frequently translated as "angel," referring to spiritual beings sent by God to deliver messages, provide guidance, or execute divine will. The term can also apply to human messengers, such as prophets or priests, who convey God's word to His people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, messengers played a crucial role in communication, especially in diplomatic and religious contexts. Angels, as divine messengers, are a common motif in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the belief in a heavenly realm actively involved in earthly affairs. The concept of angels as God's servants is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition and is carried into Christian theology, where angels are seen as protectors, guides, and executors of God's plans.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/4414.htm">malach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a rag<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>rags (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
