Exegesis
The opening verb vayishlach {וַיִּשְׁלַח | wayyiššaḥ} ‘and he sent’ initiates divine agency, followed by the mission of malʾākh {מַלְאָךְ | malʾāḵ} ‘angel’ with the infinitive ləhašḵîṯāh {לְהַשְׁחִיתָהּ | ləhašḵîṯāh} ‘to destroy it,’ establishing purpose.
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:15
And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. But as he was destroying, the LORD saw and relented concerning the calamity , and He said to the destroyer, “Enough ! Now hold back your hand.” Then the angel of the LORD stood at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
