Dear list,

Could someone please explain why several translations have used angels,
angelic/
heavenly beings etc. for "Cherubim" in Gen 3:24?

What does Cherubim actually means?
If Cherubim means angel or angelic beings than what's "Malach"?
Some passages in the Bible describes little more about "Cherubim" such as
Jeremiah, but what did people (esp. Isrealites) think about these "Cherubims"
before those passages? How do you differ between Cherubim & Malachim?
Are there any historical comments on "Cherubim"?


SHALOM,

Yousaf.
