Angel who, with the help of Zakun, attempts to inter-
fere with divine will by leading 184 myriads of angels
to steal the prayer of
MOSES
before it could reach God.
Lahash and Zakun were punished with 60 lashes of
fire. According to another version of the story the
angel Sammael binds Lahash with chains of fire, flogs
him with 70 stripes of fire, and expels him from the
divine presence.
