Shamsiel

from Gustav Davidson’s book.

“Light of day,” “mighty sun of God”) - a ruler of the 4th Heaven and prince of Paradise; also guardian angel of Eden (Eden being the earthly paradise). Itw as Shamshiel who conducted Moses around the heavenly Paradise when the Lawgiver, according to legend, visited the upper regions while he was still in the flesh. It was to Shamshiel that the treasures of David and Solomon were turned over by the scribe Hilkiah. In the Zohar, Shamshiel is head of 365 legions of spirits (angels). He crowns prayers, just as other great angels do, and accompanies them to the 5th Heaven. In the Book of Protection, Shamshiel is grouped with Michael, Nuriel, and Sarphiel as a spellbinding power. In the Book of Jubilees he is one of the watchers or grigori, and is equated with Samsapeel. In Enoch I he rates s a fallen angel who “taught the signs of the sun.” According to the Zohar (Numbers 154b) he served as one of the 2 chief aides to Uriel (the other aide being Hasdiel) when Uriel bore his standard in battle.
