Messengers of Calamity
Most commentators agree that the phrase 'evil angels' does not refer to demons or fallen angels. Instead, as the original Hebrew suggests, it means 'messengers of ills' or 'angels of calamity.' These were righteous angels sent by God to carry out a mission of destruction and judgment upon Egypt, making them 'evil' only in the sense of the disastrous outcome they brought.
