Haniel

For the moshav with the same name, see Haniel, Israel.

Haniel (Hebrew: הניאל‎, "Joy of God" or Hebrew: חַנִּיאֵל‎, "Grace of God"), also known as Anael, Hanael or Aniel, is an angel in Jewish lore and angelology, and is often included in lists as being one of the seven archangels. Haniel is generally associated with the planet Venus, he is also the archangel of the Sephirah Netzach. The name Haniel probably derives from Hebrew hana'ah, "joy", "pleasure" (qualities associated with Venus) + the suffix -el, "God". Haniel was also the angel sent to protect the Virgin Mary during her pregnancy.
