Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root מַלְאָךְ (mal'akh), meaning "messenger" or "angel."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term in the Strong's Concordance is G32, ἄγγελος (angelos), which also means "messenger" or "angel." This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe both human and divine messengers, paralleling the Hebrew concept of מַלְאָךְ (mal'akh) and by extension, מַלְאֲכוּת (mal'akhut) as the message or mission they carry.

Usage: This term is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a message or mission, typically one that is carried out by a messenger or angel. It emphasizes the content or purpose of the communication rather than the messenger itself.

Context: מַלְאֲכוּת (mal'akhut) is a noun that encapsulates the concept of a message or mission, particularly one that is divinely ordained or carries significant authority. The root מַלְאָךְ (mal'akh) is commonly associated with angels or messengers, indicating that the message is often of divine origin or importance. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the role of a messenger is crucial, as they are the bearers of God's word, instructions, or revelations to humanity. The term מַלְאֲכוּת, therefore, underscores the importance of the message itself, highlighting its role in conveying divine will or guidance. This concept is integral to understanding the function of messengers in biblical narratives, where the focus is not only on the messenger but also on the content and impact of the message delivered.
