angel, messenger (Aramaic)
The Aramaic word for angel or divine messenger, appearing in Daniel's stories of miraculous deliverance. Both occurrences refer to the angel God sent to shut the lions' mouths (Daniel 6:22) and to deliver the three friends from the fiery furnace (Daniel 3:28). In both narratives, Nebuchadnezzar or Darius acknowledges that 'his angel' (God's angel) performed the rescue. The term connects divine intervention with heavenly agency—God acts through angelic representatives. The Aramaic context situates these stories in the exilic, diaspora setting.

1. sense 1 — Aramaic term for angel or divine messenger. Daniel 3:28 describes the angel sent to rescue Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the furnace. Daniel 6:22 refers to the angel who shut the lions' mouths to protect Daniel. Both instances show pagan kings recognizing divine angelic intervention on behalf of faithful servants. The Aramaic vocabulary marks these as court tales set in Babylonian exile. Cross-linguistic evidence shows clear identification as 'angel' (Spanish ángel, French ange), though German oddly gives 'Arbeit' (work), likely an error. 2×
