Celestial being or Angles
The term "Ishim" is another designation for a class of celestial beings or angels within certain Jewish mystical traditions, including Kabbalah.
The word "Ishim" is derived from the Hebrew אִישׁ (ish), meaning "man" or "person," and it is often translated as "men" or "beings" in the context of angelic entities.
In Kabbalistic cosmology, the Ishim are considered one of the lower orders of angels, and they are associated with specific aspects of the natural world.
The precise attributes and roles attributed to the Ishim can vary among different Kabbalistic texts and interpretations.
Generally, the Ishim are seen as benevolent and are thought to be involved in carrying out the divine will in the earthly realm.
The term "Ishim" appears in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) in a few instances.
For example, in the book of Genesis, there is a mention of the "sons of God" who intermingle with the daughters of men, and some interpretations identify these "sons of God" with the Ishim.
