Etymology

The word 'cherubim' comes from the Hebrew word 'kerub' (ื›ึฐึผืจื•ึผื‘), a term referring to a type of celestial being. In ancient texts, including the Bible, cherubim have been described in various forms, often associated with the presence of God. They appear in the Book of Genesis, where they are placed at the entrance of the Garden of Eden, wielding a flaming sword to guard the way to the Tree of Life. The concept of cherubim also appears in other religious traditions, influencing how these beings are interpreted across different cultures. Over time, the image of cherubim evolved from majestic guardians of the divine to quaint, childlike figures often seen in Renaissance art. This evolution reflects broader changes in theological interpretations and artistic expressions of divine beings.
