Hashmal
The Hashmallim are angelic entities in Judaism.
The word hashmal appears in the Hebrew Bible in Ezekiel 1:4:
Hashmallim occupy the fourth rank of ten in Maimonides's exposition of the Jewish angelic hierarchy.
The Septuagint translates "hashmal" to ηλεκτρον, which means "amber" in English. Francis Bacon coined the English word "electricity" to describe the static electric effect of rubbing amber with cloth. Later, "hashmal" became the modern Hebrew word that translates to the English word "electricity." Jewish poet Judah Leib Gordon coined the modern Hebrew word, in his 1878 collection Gabashta.
