Definition: The word "Alcathes" appears in the Bible (1 Chronicles 20:3) as a term that refers to the angelic beings who guide the people on their way, often referred to as the angelic hosts or the angelic counselors. These angels were created by God to assist the Israelites in their journey of freedom and deliverance from oppression. The exact context for this phrase is not fully clear; however, it can be interpreted within the Jewish religious framework that God had chosen certain people to guide and protect them on their way out of Egypt. The angelic hosts or counselors would have provided guidance and protection, but also could have been an intermediary between God's will and the actions of individuals. The specific details about how these angels were guided are not explicitly listed in the Hebrew Bible (excluding Deuteronomy 32:14-15), but it is a significant aspect of Israelite religious tradition.
