Text: SER'APHIM, n. [the Hebrew plural of seraph.] Angels of the highest order in the celestial hierarchy. [It is sometimes improperly written seraphims.] SER'APH, n. plu. seraphs; but sometimes the Hebrew plural, seraphim, is used. [from Heb. to burn.] An angel of the highest order. As full, as perfect in vile man that mourns, As the rapt seraph that adores and burns. Pope. [Webster's 1828 Dictionary]
