《Angels in Hebrew》
※The Divine Messengers神的使者
The Bible is full of stories in which God communicates with human beings through spiritual emissaries known as “angels.” In Hebrew the word for angel is malakh (מלאך) which means “one who is sent.”
聖經中充滿了故事，其中上帝通過被稱為「天使」的屬靈使者與人類進行交通。在希伯來語中，天使מֲלְאָךְ4397一字是malakh (מלאך)，意思是「奉差遣的人messenger, representative」。

מלאך malâk mal-awk
From an unused root meaning to despatch差遣 as a deputy幫辦; a messenger; specifically of God, that is, an angel (also a prophet, priest or teacher)
Most of the Biblical angels are unidentified, but the most important archangels have names: Michael and Gabriel. Do you know what these Hebrew names actually mean?
大多數聖經中的天使都是身份不明，但最重要的大天使有名字：米迦勒מִיכָאֵל和加百列גַּבְרִיאֵל。您知道這些希伯來語名稱的實際含義嗎？

מִיכָאֵל (4317) מיכאל mı̂ykâêl me-kaw-ale
Michael = "who is like God"
1-one of, the chief, or the first archangel who is described as the one who stands in time of conflict for the children of Israel

גַּבְרִיאֵל (1403) גּבריאל gabrı̂yêl gab-ree-ale
Gabriel = "warrior of God" or "man of God"
1-an archangel; the angel God used to send messages of great importance to man; sent to Daniel, to Zacharias, and to Mary
※Four Sacred Hebrew Names
Michael is comprised of two Hebrew words: Mi (מי) + Ka-El (כאל) meaning, “Who is like God?”. Gabriel is also comprised of two Hebrew words: Gavar (גבר) + El (אל) meaning, “God is mighty”.
米迦勒由兩個希伯來語單詞組成：Mi（מי）+ Ka-El（כאל）意思是「誰像上帝？」。
加百列由兩個希伯來語單詞組成：Gavar（גבר）+ El（אל）的意思是「上帝是強大的」。
Outside the Bible, the apocryphal tradition adds two more angelic names. Uriel which comes from the words Uri (ארי) + El (אל) means “Light of God”. Raphael from the word Refa (רפא) + El (אל) means “God heals”.
在聖經之外，偽經的傳統加了兩個天使名稱。
Uriel源自Uri (ארי) + El (אל)一詞，意為「上帝之光」。
Raphael源自Refa(רפא)+ El(אל)一詞，意思是「上帝醫治」。
※Receive the Scriptures as God intended
What do these names have in common? The ending “El” - one of the most sacred names of God in Hebrew. This is fitting because the role of an angel is to serve as God’s messenger, bringing good tidings.
這些名稱有什麼共同點？ 結尾的「El」是希伯來語中神的最神聖的名字之一。 這很相配，因為天使的角色是上帝的使者，帶來好消息。
