In Tobit he goes by the name Azariah ( Hebrew: עֲזַרְיָה/עֲזַרְיָהוּ ʿĂzaryāh/ʿĂzaryāhū, " Yah/Yahu has helped") while disguising himself as a human. His name derives from the Hebrew root רפא ( r-p-ʾ) meaning "to heal", and can be translated as "God has healed". In the oldest stratum of 1 Enoch (1 Enoch 9:1) he is one of the four named archangels, and in Tobit 12:11–15 he is one of seven. Raphael first appears in two works of this period, 1 Enoch, a collection of originally independent texts from the 3rd century BCE, and the Book of Tobit, from the early 2nd century BCE. At the same time the angels and archangels began to be given names, as attested in the Talmudic statement that "the names of the angels were brought by the Jews from Babylonia", attributed to Shimon ben Lakish or Rabbi Hanina respectively. The original mal'akh lacked both individuality and hierarchy, but after the Babylonian exile they were graded into a Babylonian-style hierarchy and the word archangelos, archangel, first appears in the Greek text of 1 Enoch. When used in the latter sense it is translated as " angel". In the Hebrew Bible, the word 'מַלְאָךְ' ( malʾāk̠) literally means messenger either human or supernatural in nature. In Gnostic tradition, Raphael is represented on the Ophite Diagram. He is not named in either the New Testament or the Quran, but later Christian tradition identified him with healing and as the angel who stirred waters in the Pool of Bethesda in John 5:2–4, and in Islam, where his name is Israfil, he is understood to be the unnamed angel of Quran 6:73, standing eternally with a trumpet to his lips, ready to announce the Day of Judgment.
In later Jewish tradition, he became identified as one of the three heavenly visitors entertained by Abraham at the Oak of Mamre. Raphael ( UK: / ˈ r æ f eɪ ə l/ RAF-ay-əl, US: / ˈ r æ f i ə l, ˈ r eɪ f-/ RA(Y)F-ee-əl "God has healed") is an archangel first mentioned in the Book of Tobit and in 1 Enoch, both estimated to date from between the 3rd and 2nd century BCE.
