We would also like to point out that the name Azrael does not appear in Jewish lore. The following statement, made
in the Jewish Encyclopedia, has been misunderstood.
—In Arabic Literature: The angel of death is spoken of in the Koran (suras xxxii. 11, lxxix. 1), and is called by the Mohammedans Azrael...
Jewish Encyclopedia: Specifically, the
text that has been used to claim the name Azrael appears in Jewish literature as the Angel of Death.
If you know of a Jewish story that names Azrael as the Angel of Death, we would be all too happy to link it here.
