Template:Short description In Judeo-Christian folklore the angel Kushiel, meaning "Rigid One of God", punishes individuals in Hell.[1]

In Hebrew writings

Kushiel is one of seven angels of punishment along with Hutriel, Lahatiel, Makatiel, Puriel (also written Pusiel), Rogziel and Shoftiel.[2]

As a "presiding angel of Hell," he is said to punish nations with a whip made of fire,[1] although, along with the other angels of punishment, is reported in Second Book of Enoch 10:3 to dwell in the third heaven.[3]

In popular culture

In 2001, Kushiel first appeared as a character in Jacqueline Carey's series of novels entitled Kushiel's Legacy. Kushiel was the punishing angel of the Yeshuites' One God[4]
