Messenger Language

While the verse describes an angel appearing, it doesn't explicitly use terms like "sent" or "commanded" to distinguish the angel as a separate agent from God. The "glory of the Lord" shining around them could be interpreted as a direct manifestation of God's presence, with the angel acting as a conduit or part of that divine manifestation, rather than a distinct messenger.
