Cherub 智天使
(重定向自Cherubim)
A cherub (; also pl. cherubim; Hebrew כְּרוּב, pl. כְּרוּבִים, English trans kərūv, pl. kərūvîm, dual kərūvāyim; Latin cherub, pl. cherubin, cherubim; Syriac ܟܪܘܒܐ) is one of the unearthly beings who directly attend to God. Aside from YHWH, the cherubim are the most frequently occurring heavenly being in the Hebrew Bible, with the Hebrew word for the beings appearing 91 times when referring to a cherub. The numerous depictions of cherubim assign to them many different roles; out of these duties, the one with which cherubim must have been most originally conceived with is the protection of the Garden of Eden.
