Nemammiya i Ieyalel are a paired angelic name, ruling over coins in the Kabbalistic hierarchy. The first name, Nemammiya (Nemamiah), derives from the Hebrew root nmm, often interpreted as "pleasant" or "delightful," while Ieyalel (Ieyalel) stems from yll, meaning "cry of God" or "howling to God." Together, they form a dyad governing material prosperity and the distribution of wealth.

Position on the Tree of Life

This pair is assigned to the second Sephirah, Chokmah (Wisdom), on the Tree of Life. Chokmah represents the first outpouring of creative force, the raw, undifferentiated energy that structures the universe. As rulers of coins, Nemammiya i Ieyalel channel this wisdom into the material realm, governing the flow of currency and resources as a manifestation of divine order.

Astrological and planetary correspondence

In the system of Liber 777, Chokmah corresponds to the zodiacal sign of the Zodiac itself (the Primum Mobile) and the planet Uranus in its higher aspect. This places Nemammiya i Ieyalel under the influence of revolutionary change and the breaking of old forms, suggesting that their rule over coins involves sudden shifts in fortune and the redistribution of wealth according to cosmic law.

Historical context

The names Nemammiya i Ieyalel appear in the Kabbalistic tradition of the 72 shemhamphorash (explicit names of God), derived from Exodus 14:19-21. Each name is composed of three Hebrew letters and is associated with an angelic intelligence. In the medieval grimoire tradition, particularly the Key of Solomon and later works like the Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, these angels are invoked for financial success and the discovery of hidden treasures. The pairing of two names as rulers of coins reflects the dual nature of wealth: acquisition and distribution, or the balance between accumulation and charity. In the Zohar, such angelic pairs are seen as emanations of the divine will, mediating between the upper Sephiroth and the material world.

Nemammiya i Ieyalel appear in Liber 777 at row CXXXII (Pairs of Angels ruling Coins), on the second step of the scale, corresponding to Chokmah. They are one of ten such pairs, each governing a different Sephirah, and their specific role here is to oversee the wisdom aspect of material exchange.
