<p> (מִשְׁחַית | <p> (מִשְׁחַית )PM, ''Mashchith''' , Exodus 12:23; — λοθρευτής, 1 Corinthians 10:10), an exterminator (see Bromel, De angelo exterminatore, Jen. 1685; also in the Thesaur. Theol. philolog. V. T. 1:301 sq.). (See [[Death]]). The Hebrews were accustomed by a figure to speak of any superhuman agency as that of an angel (see Bush, ''Note On'' Exodus 3:2); and whenever this had a providential aspect it was attributed to a divine messenger ( 2 Kings 19:35; 2 Samuel 24:15,"16; Psalms 78:49; Acts 12:23). (See [[Angel]]). Even Satan's malignity is represented as thus employed ( Job 2:6-7). (See [[Abaddon]]). </p> | ||
