Subjects in this Topic:
ra-gū´el (ῬαγουηÌλ, RhagoueÌ„Ìl): “The friend of God,†of Ecbatana, the husband of Edna, father of Sarah, and father-in-law of Tobias (Tobit 3:7, 17; 6:10; 7:2 f; 14:12). In Tobit 7:2 he is called cousin of Tobit, and in Tobit 6:10 the King James Version he is erroneously represented as “cousin†of Tobias = “kinsman†in the Revised Version (British and American). In Enoch 20:4 Raguel appears as one of the archangels, perhaps by confusion for Raphael (Tobit 3:17). Another form of the name is REUEL (which see).
