Angel of the Lord

The title “angel of the LORD” literally conveys something like, “the messenger of Yahweh,” and is lower case because it describes His role: messenger. LORD is uppercase because English Bibles traditionally use LORD to represent the divine name YHWH. In the “angel of the LORD,” the word angel is normally not capitalized because angel is a common noun, not a proper name. Capitalization in English translations does not determine whether the angel is divine. Therefore, in the passages presented, the word angel will not be capitalized unless the translation itself does so. We will allow the whole biblical pattern to identify Him rather than depending upon capitalization.

God: Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
(Gen. 12:1-3)

angel of the LORD: And the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time, saying, “By Myself I have sworn declares the LORD, that because you have done this and not withheld your only son, I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies. And through your offspring all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.
(Gen. 22:15-18)

God: Then the word of the LORD came to Abram saying, “This one will not be your heir, but one who comes from your own body will be your heir.” And the LORD took him outside and said, “Now look to the heavens and count the stars, if you are able.” Then He told him, “So shall your offspring be.”

God: And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.

angel of God: And the angel of God, who had gone before the camp of Israel, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from before them, and stood behind them, so that it came between the camps of Egypt and Israel. The cloud was there in the darkness, but it lit up the night. So all night long neither camp went near the other. (Exo. 14:19-20

God: When I brought your fathers out of Egypt and you reached the Red Sea, the Egyptians pursued them with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea. So your fathers cried out to the LORD, and He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, over whom He brought the Sea and engulfed them.

Angel of the Lord: The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers. and when we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. (Numbers 20:15-16

God: Moses was unable to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle, the Israelites would set out through all the stages of their journey. If the cloud was not lifted, they would not set out until the day it was taken up. For the cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel through all their journeys. (Exo. 40:35-38)
