Línguas dos anjos
Línguas dos anjos são uma forma de adoração encontrada no Judaísmo do período do Segundo Templo.
Na Bíblia hebraica, o conceito é desconhecido, os anjos só falam em línguas humanas.
Nos Manuscritos do Mar Morto o conceito aparece no conjunto de hinos para os sacrifícios do sábado.[1][2][3]
Posteriormente, em Alexandria, um conceito relacionado aparece entre os membros femininos das sinagogas judaicas therapeutae. O texto principal é o Testamento de Jó apócrifo 48:1-50.[4][5]
É possível que a menção a "língua dos anjos" na Primeira Epístola aos Coríntios capítulo 13 é uma referência à influência de Alexandria, no culto em Corinto.[6][7][8][9]

One commentator has suggested that the big difference between the 'tongues of men and of angels' rendered their idiom unintelligible. Perhaps also, at such auspicious moments the sectarians themselves spoke in tongues (an ecstatic incomprehensible language), a chanting that would drown out what was going on. The sectarians' taste for the esoteric is evident elsewhere"
