Shem HaMephorash · Angel LXX

Jabamiah

יַבַּמְיָה

"God the Creator" — the seventieth angel of the seventy-two-fold Name, governing transmutation, healing, and the turning of endings into beginnings.

01Name & Etymology

Jabamiah's name is built from three Hebrew letters — Yod, Beth, and Mem — following the pattern by which each of the seventy-two Shem HaMephorash angels derives from a triplet drawn out of Exodus 14:19–21.

י
Yod
ב
Beth
מ
Mem

The name is traditionally rendered "God the Creator" or "God Who Brings Forth All Things," and pronounced as the mantra Yoh-Beh-Meh. Some sources list her also as Yabamiah, an alternate transliteration of the same triplet.

02Position in the 72-Fold Name

The Shem HaMephorash — "the Explicit Name" — is a Kabbalistic structure of seventy-two three-letter divine names drawn from three consecutive verses of Exodus, each containing seventy-two Hebrew letters. Each triplet was, in later tradition, associated with an angelic intelligence. Jabamiah holds the seventieth position in this sequence, between Rochel (69th) and Haiaiel (71st).

70 · Jabamiah
71 · Haiaiel

She is placed within the Choir of Angels associated with the sephirah Yesod, under the rulership of Archangel Gabriel — a governance shared by several angels toward the end of the seventy-two-fold sequence.

Within the Shem HaMephorash astrological framework, the 360° zodiac is divided into seventy-two five-degree segments, each ruled by one angel — which is how individual birth angels are traditionally determined from a person's date and time of birth.

04Invocation

Jabamiah is one of the few Shem HaMephorash angels without a Psalm verse traditionally assigned to her name. In its place, practitioners commonly invoke her with the opening line of Genesis — a verse whose theme of creation echoes her own name and function.

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."
