 Seraphim
    mentioned in Isa. 6:2, 3, 6, 7. This word means fiery ones, in
    allusion, as is supposed, to their burning love. They are
    represented as "standing" above the King as he sat upon his
    throne, ready at once to minister unto him. Their form appears
    to have been human, with the addition of wings. (See ANGELS.) This word, in the original, is used elsewhere only
    of the "fiery serpents" (Num. 21:6, 8; Deut. 8:15; comp. Isa.
    14:29; 30:6) sent by God as his instruments to inflict on the
    people the righteous penalty of sin.
