Strong's Lexicon sarappim: Seraphim Original Word: שַׂרְעַף Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: sar`aph Pronunciation: sah-rah-feem Phonetic Spelling: (sar-af') Definition: Seraphim Meaning: cogitation Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׂרַף (saraph), meaning "to burn" or "to set on fire." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent in the Septuagint for "seraphim" is not directly listed, but the concept of fiery or burning beings can be related to the Greek word "πῦρ" (pur, Strong's G4442), meaning "fire." Usage: The term "sarappim" refers to a class of celestial beings or angels associated with the presence of God. In the Bible, seraphim are depicted as fiery beings who serve and worship God, emphasizing His holiness and majesty. They are often associated with purification and the burning away of sin. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, fiery or winged beings were often depicted in art and literature as guardians of divine or sacred spaces. The seraphim in the Hebrew Bible reflect this imagery, serving as attendants in the heavenly court. Their role underscores the transcendence and holiness of God, as well as the need for purification in His presence.
