Angel (Judaism; Christianity)
The angel Jophiel (Heb. יוֹפִיאֵל Yōp̄īʾēl , "Beauty of God"),[1] [2] also called Iophiel , Iofiel , Jofiel , Yofiel , Youfiel , Zophiel (צֹפִיאֵל Ṣōp̄īʾēl , "God is my watchman")[3] and Zuriel (צוּרִיאֵל Ṣūrīʾēl , "God is my rock"),[4] is an archangel in Christian and Jewish angelology . Jophiel is associated with beauty, art, and wisdom.
Beliefs in religions and ceremonial magic [ edit ]
According to Robert Means Lawrence ,[5] Arthur de Bles, and R.L. Giles, Jophiel was said to be the Angel who cast Adam and Eve out of Paradise [6]
According to the pseudepigraphal Revelation of Moses , another name for Jophiel is Dina (Hebrew: דִּינָה Dīnā , "Judgement").[7] In the text, Jophiel/Dina is described as an angel of the seventh heaven, a Cabalistic guardian of the Torah (and wisdom itself), who taught 70 languages to souls at the dawn of creation.[8] The Zohar lists Jophiel as a Great Angel Chief in charge of 53 legions who superintend Torah -readings on the Sabbath .[9] Jophiel is said to be a companion to the angel Metatron .[6]
C. E. Clement , in her book Angels in Art , names Jophiel as the teacher of Ham , Japheth , and Shem .[6] Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa [10] and Thomas Rudd likewise name Jophiel as the teacher of Shem.[11]
In the Anglican tradition, Jophiel is recognized as an archangel . Jophiel is often depicted in iconography holding a flaming sword ,[note 1] such as the stained glasses at St Michael's Church in Brighton , St Peter and St John's Church in Kirkley ,[12] Holy Trinity Church in Coventry ,[13] and a mural at St. John's Episcopal Church in Memphis, Tennessee .[14]
Jophiel is an Archangel of the Kabbalah (although some systems put Raziel in Jophiel’s place) and in several listings, including that of the early medieval theologian Pseudo-Dionysus .[15] The Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum lists Jophiel as the angel of the Sephira Binah ,[16] as do the Key of Solomon variant "The Veritable Clavicles of Solomon,"[17] and the Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses ,[18] both latter works derived from the Calendarium .[19] Agrippa attributes Jophiel to Saturn , while Paracelsus assigns Jophiel to Jupiter.[6] Rudd attributes the Zodiac to Jophiel[20] along with the Sephira Binah instead of Zaphkiel .[21] Athanasius Kircher names Jophiel as Angelus pulchritudinis , "angel of beauty".[22] According to Robert Ambelain , Jophiel is in charge of the Cherubim , particularly the Shemhamphorasch angels Haziel, Aladiah, Lauviah, Hahaiah, Iezalel, Mehahel, Hariel, and Hakamiah.[23]
In John Milton’s epic poem, Paradise Lost, the Archangel Jophiel is depicted as the “cherubim with the swiftest wings.”

^ The flaming sword is also generally an attribute of the archangel Uriel , but he is more often depicted in Anglican iconography holding a book (scroll) or a solar disc.
2. Angels and ‘angelic entities’ are traditionally neither specifically male or female (note: when Jophiel/Zophiel is historically referenced, the gender is universally most often male, not female). A female depiction is a recent, specific, and subjective attribute incorrectly assumed and likely applied due to the association with beauty and art, as well as an affiliation with ‘Dina’, and the assumption of gender there.
