In the Bible, seraphim are depicted as fiery beings who serve and worship God, emphasizing His holiness and majesty. They are often associated with purification and the burning away of sin.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, fiery or winged beings were often depicted in art and literature as guardians of divine or sacred spaces. The seraphim in the Hebrew Bible reflect this imagery, serving as attendants in the heavenly court. Their role underscores the transcendence and holiness of God, as well as the need for purification in His presence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/8174b.htm">seippim</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>disquieting thoughts<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>anxious thoughts (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">שַׂרְעַמִּים</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine] plural</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>disquieting thoughts</b></font> (compare <font class="hebrew2">סַרְעַמָּה</font> below <font class="hebrew2">סעף</font>, Ges<sup>§ 85w</sup>);
