Abstract
The agent has existed as a concept for thousands of years. In the human context, an agent is a person that performs some task on your behalf, for example, a travel agent planning flights and accommodation for your holiday, or a real-estate agent helping you buy or sell a house, or someone arranging marriages. Some Biblical laws specifically refer to agents.
