RAPHAEL (Hebrew smm, " God heals ")

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 900 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
RAPHAEL (Hebrew smm, " God heals ") , an
angel
  who in human disguise and under the name of Azarias (" Yahweh helps ") accompanies Tobias in his adventurous journey and conquers the demon Asmodaeus (
Book
  of Tobit). He is said (Tob. xii. 15) to be " one of the seven holy angels [archangels] which present the prayers of the
saints
  and go in before the
glory
  of the Holy One." In the
Book
  of Enoch (c. xx.)
Raphael
  is " the
angel
  of the
spirits
  of men," and it is his business to " heal the earth which the angels have defiled." In later
Midrash
 
Raphael
  appears as the angel commissioned to put down the evil
spirits
  that vexed the sons of Noah with plagues and sicknesses after the Flood, and he it was who taught men the use of simples and furnished materials for the " Book of Noah," the earliest
treatise
  on materia medica.
