Hashmal
The Hashmallim (Template:Langx Script error: No such module "lang".; sing. Hashmal, Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "lang".; rendered amber by the Authorized Version)[1] are angelic entities in Judaism.[2]
The word hashmal appears in the Hebrew Bible in Ezekiel 1:4-5: Template:Quote
Hashmallim occupy the fourth rank of ten in Maimonides' exposition of the Jewish angelic hierarchy.[3]
The Septuagint translates hashmal to ηλεκτρον (elektron), which means "amber" in English. Later, hashmal became the Modern Hebrew word that translates to the English word "electricity". Jewish poet Judah Leib Gordon coined the modern Hebrew word, in his 1878 collection Gabashta.[4]
