Archangels in the received planetary tables, and Bene Elohim — 'sons of God' — in Agrippa's scale of ten, which sets them at Hod, the sphere he assigns to Mercury. The equation is again the later tables' convenience: the Archangels of Dionysius are the second-lowest choir, while the Bene Elohim are a class of divine beings in the Hebrew literature.

Tet-Yod-Resh-Yod-Aleph-Lamed, 9 + 10 + 200 + 10 + 1 + 30, summing to 260 — the row-sum of Mercury's eight-by-eight square, whose total is 2080. The yod and the aleph share the cell holding 11, and the plate marks the doubled contact with a double bump.

Office

The intelligence is Mercury's benevolent face, the spirit 'to good' of the sphere: understanding, memory, eloquence, the learning of arts, and the divination that comes by dreams, all of which the chapter attributes to the Mercury table when the planet is fortunate. Agrippa assigns it nothing beyond the polarity. The later handbooks' long lists of Mercury's offices — languages, trade, thievery, the writing of books — restate the planet.
