Cherubim

(definition) by Webster 1913 Tue Dec 21 1999 at 22:27:32

Cher"u*bim (?), n.

The Hebrew plural of Cherub.. Cf. Seraphim.

Cherubims, in the King James version of the bible, is an incorrect form, made by adding the English plural termination to the Hebrew plural cherubim instead of to the singular cherub.
