Subjects in this Topic:

an angel frequently mentioned by rabbinical writers, and to whom they ascribe superior prerogatives. He is said to, be "the king of angels," and to "ascend to the throne of glory above nine hundred firmaments to carry up the prayers of the Israelites." He is supposed by some to have been the angel who conducted the Israelites through the wilderness, and by others to have been Enoch.
