Best Answer
A:

Old Testament scholars say that angels were never mentioned in any book written before the Babylonian Exile. We can say that after this date, Jews did believe in angels, possibly as a result of Persian influence.

Mention is made in The Bible of multiple supernatural beings, such as when Abraham spoke to three of them (Genesis chapter 18), but the Hebrew word used is 'elohim, which means 'gods'. This is consistent with archaeological evidence uncovered in recent decades, demonstrating that the early Hebrews who told these stories were indeed polytheistic.
