What is the meaning of Samael in the Bible?
Of Jewish origin, Samael means “Blindness of God” or “poison of God”. However, there is no passage in the Bible that directly mentions Samael. In fact, little is known about the Biblical version of the transition from the world of the living to the realm of the dead.
Who is Samael the Angel of death?
A little-known apocryphal text called the Ascension [or Testament] of Moses (dating back at least to the early 1 st century CE) states that Samael is the one “who takes the soul away from man”, directly identifying him with the Angel of Death. This ties neatly into his name, since Samael (סמאל) literally means “poison of God”.
Where does Samael live?
As a good jinn, Samael resides in the seventh heaven, although he is declared to be the chief jinn of the fifth heaven. In Jewish lore, Samael is said to be a spirit of death, the chief ruler of the Fifth Heaven and one of the seven regents of the world served by two million spirits; he resides in the Heaven.
Is the Demiurge the same as Samael?
In some Gnostic cosmologies, Samael’s role as source of evil became identified with the Demiurge, the creator of the material world. Although probably both accounts originate from the same source, the Gnostic development differs from the Jewish development of Samael, in which Samael is merely an angel and servant of God.
