Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary · 1913

Cherubim

Cher′u·bim (chĕr′ū·bĭm), 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.

Changed for Deep Dive Bible: Greek, which our source spelled in Latin letters, set in Greek letters; entries of one spelling merged into one article; Greek words our source left out (shown as “?”), read from the 1898 printing, from the same plates (the Library of Congress’s copy), where the place could be found with certainty.
