Bible Question:
Shalom y'all, In Gen. 32:1, the "angels of God" - is the original word melech? Messengers? These are just "messengers" from Esau, right? They are not actual angels like the ones that approached Abram just before the destruction of Sodom and Gommorah, right? (I have that ISA Basic program but it's difficult to use sometimes, and this time it didn't give me the word I'm familiar with.) I'm just a little confused :o) Thanks for the help Cheri |
Bible Answer: mal'ak is the root word meaning angels in this verse. Reading it in my bible I believe these are angels of God because it specifically says "angels of God" unlike the next verse where it says "Jacob sent his messengers" Is that of help? |
