Genesis 3
COA1655Genesis 3:24
Cherubims] And so, Num. VII. 89. 1 Sam IV. 4. 1 King. VII. 29. Esay. XXXVII. 16. Ezek. X. throughout that Vision; and ch. XLI. 18. Heb. IX. 5. and in sundry other places. And in like sort we have the word Seraphims, Esay VI. 2, 6. And this for expression-sake of our English plural by the letter (s): whereas the words might have been rendered Cherubs and Seraphs, or Cherubim and Seraphim; that being the termination plural in the Original Hebrew; as also in the Chaldee, and Syriak. And so is rightly left out in the word Baalim, in all places. Of Cherubin see my Annotations on Ezek. IX. 3. and X. 1, 3,—10, and v. 14,—22. and XI. 22.
