Great post K. I believe Uriel was the angel who wrestled with Jacob in the OT?

Other than the two citations, where does the info on these lesser known angels come from?

Selaphiel: the prayer of God, impelling to prayer (3 Ezdras 5:16). He prays to God for mankind.

Jehudiel: the glorifying of God, encouraging exertion for the glory of the Lord and interceding for the reward of efforts.

Barachiel: distributor of the blessings of God for good deeds, entreats the mercy of God for people.

Jeremiel: the raising up to God (3 Ezdras 4:36)

I suspect, but I don't know, that it comes from pious tradition in The Church.
