Er'el

Erelim (Hebrew: אֶרְאֶלִּים, ʾErʾellīm; sing. אֶרְאֵל, ʾErʾēl; “valiant ones”), is a class of angel whose existence is derived from a verse in the book of Isaiah^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] regarding the impending invasion of Jerusalem by Sennacherib during the reign of King Hezekiah.^[2]

While the erelim are ascribed numerous functions in Jewish and Kabbalistic texts and literature, they most often appear to be associated with moments of death and national tragedy.^[3]^[2] They appear in multiple angelic hierarchies, ranking first among the ten orders of angels in the Berit Menuchah,^[5] second in the Zohar,^[3]^[5] third by Maimonides,^[3]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8] and tenth in the Maseket Azilut.^[4]
