Throughout the [[Bible]] their are mentions of people interacting with angels and of angels intervening on behalf of people.

Though the popular notion of an angel is that of a celestial, vaguely human being with improbably bird-like wings, the actual original Hebrew is best translated as "messenger"; thus, it is likely that many of the angels featuring in the Torah were meant to be mortal human beings doing God's work, rather than an actual supernatural manifestation ''per se.''
