Passover

[pez]

A slightly strange question. In the Old Testament, Book of Exodus, it described what the Egyptians Israelites had to do at Passover to avoid their first borns being killed... in the actual Book, the Lord said He would be passing over, but commonly people say it was the Angel of Death.

Did this Angel of Death have a name? Was he Azrael, or a different angel?

*googles and wikipedias and everything*

It seems like no-one can actually come up with one name, annoyingly. :/

XD I was just looking at that page, too! The wiki page on Azrael suggests that's the angel who did the killing, but... meh. Maybe I should just give up trying to be correct and pick a name out of a hat!

Nigel?

That's a good name.

:P

Perhaps not very angel-y. Alas.

What's this for? *curious*

*snerk* Nigel! XDDD

Oh, just ficcing. It's a light-hearted story, in which one of the characters is actually the angel who killed all the first borns, so I wanted to know what his "angelic" name would've been...
