A Thousand Thousands Served Him

Exegesis and the Naming of Angels in Ancient Judaism

by Saul M. Olyan

A scholarly study of how angels acquired personal names and ranks in Second Temple and rabbinic Judaism. Olyan argues that many angelic names and classes arose from close exegesis of biblical words and phrases, which helps explain the origins of figures such as Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel.
