In the context of divine messengers, "malak" is commonly translated as "angel" in English. These beings are depicted as servants of God, carrying out His will and delivering His messages to humans. The term can also refer to human messengers sent by individuals or kings.<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 military contexts. The concept of divine messengers or angels is prevalent in the Hebrew Bible, where they are seen as intermediaries between God and humanity. Angels are often depicted as powerful and awe-inspiring beings who execute God's commands, provide guidance, and offer protection to His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/4397.htm">malak</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an angel<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>angel (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> [<font class="hebrew2">מַלְאַךְ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>angel</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> Syriac);
