Archangel in Abrahamic religion

Zaphkiel ( Ṣafqīʾēl), also written as Tzaphqiel, Tzaphkiel, Zaphchial, Zaphiel, or Zelel, is an archangel. He is sometimes equated with Zadkiel, but other times, considered to be a different angel.{{cite book |author-link=Gustav Davidson |orig-year=1967 Zaphkiel is "chief of the Ophanim (order of thrones) and one of the 9 angels that rule Heaven; also one of the 7 archangels." He can watch people when they need to make important decisions and when they need to put them into words for others. If they are unsure of the words, he will help them to make the message more clear. The leader of the Erelim, he is associated with the planet Saturn. It is associated also with the sephira Binah. Because of his association with Saturn, he is occasionally associated with Cassiel.
