four: (tiferet)

47. About THOSE ANGELS it is said, "He makes his angels as spirits" (Tehilim 104:4). They perform their mission in the world without being seen by humans, and can only be seen through visions and by other means, such as intense meditations. One angel governs them and his name is Padael. THIS NAME IS A COMBINATION OF THE WORDS "PADA EL," MEANING 'EL HAS REDEEMED.' ALL THOSE WHO ELEVATE MAYIN NUKVIN (FEMALE WATERS) TO THIS COMPARTMENT THROUGH THEIR GOOD DEEDS RECEIVE THE ILLUMINATION OF CHASSADIM FROM THIS ANGEL, AND EVEN IF THEY HAVE BEEN SENTENCED TO DEATH, THEY ARE REDEEMED AND DO NOT DIE. HENCE THE ANGEL IS NAMED PADAEL. In this CHAMBER, the keys to the gates of mercy are accessible to those who have repented and have returned to their Master. These keys open the gates through which their prayers enter--AND ARE THUS ANSWERED.
