Esth 15:16 · Douay-Rheims
“She answered: I saw thee, my lord, as an angel of God, and my heart was troubled for fear of thy majesty.”
On this verse:
“Angel. The Chaldeans had the same notions as the Jews about angels; and the latter never shewed more devotion towards them than after the captivity, when the Scriptures speak more plainly on this subject. Jacob compares his brother Esau to an angel, (Calmet) or to God, Genesis xxxiii. 10. See also 1 Kings xxix. 9., and 2 Kings xiv. 17. (Haydock)”
