The [[angel]] '''Jophiel''' (Heb. יוֹפִיאֵל Yōp̄īʾēl, "God is my beauty"), also called Iophiel, Iofiel, Jofiel, Yofiel, Youfiel, Zophiel (צֹפִיאֵל Ṣōp̄īʾēl, "God is my watchman") and Zuriel (צוּרִיאֵל Ṣūrīʾēl, "God is my rock"), is a non-canonical [[archangel]] of wisdom, understanding, and judgment, art and beauty. She is listed as one of the Seven Archangels in Pseudo-Dionysian teachings. Due to the association with beauty, Jophiel is one of very few angels to be sometimes portrayed as female.
