Domiel (also noted as Dumiel) is recorded in later angelological reference works as an angelic guardian of the heavenly chambers in Merkabah mystical literature. In Gustav Davidson’s A Dictionary of Angels, Domiel is identified as the guardian of the sixth hall of the seventh heaven, bearing the descriptive title “prince of majesty, fear and trembling.” Davidson notes that Domiel has sometimes been confused with Dumah, a caution Davidson attributes to Gershom Scholem’s discussion of mystical texts rather than an identity established across all traditions.
In his 1897 Vocabulaire de l’angélologie, Moïse Schwab catalogues Doumi El as an “angel of silence” based on entries in Hekhalot Rabbati and Sefer Raziel, describing the figure as a strong and brilliant guardian stationed at the entrance of the sixth heavenly palace. Schwab cites those works in his lexicon entry; his description and Davidson’s notice provide related accounts of a heavenly hall guardian.
