In Hebrew writings

Kushiel is one of seven angels of punishment along with Hutriel, Lahatiel, Makatiel, Puriel (also written Pusiel), Rogziel and Shoftiel. [2]

As a "presiding angel of Hell," he is said to punish nations with a whip made of fire, [1] although, along with the other angels of punishment, is reported in Second Book of Enoch 10:3 to dwell in the third heaven. [3]

In 2001, Kushiel first appeared as a character in Jacqueline Carey's series of novels entitled Kushiel's Legacy . Kushiel was the punishing angel of the Yeshuites' One God [4]
