thinking about מֲלְאָךְ. it's often translated, in the hebrew bible, as 'angel.' but a more tight fit is something like 'here god is again.' the word comes from a ugaritic cognate—l’ak—which in the d tense (mu- prefixed) means 'to be sending and sent, constantly, repeatedly, dully,' dully. dully. angels coming and going, god theophanizing here, in this body, in another, in a bush now. the referent of 'מֲלְאָךְ' is the banality with which god enters his own bible, or, better yet, just a single affective shrug: 'what does he want, now?'
