The angel of the presence has played a diverse and not particularly
consistent series of roles. In the Book of Jubilees, for example, the
angel of the presence is the angel who relates the revelation to Moses.
Although the number varies somewhat, there are customarily twelve
angels of the presence, also known as angels of the face. William
Blake, for example, mentions seven angels of the presence in his
poem “Milton,” and rabbinic lore sometimes refers to the seventy
tutelary (national) angels as angels of the presence.
