### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Sefer Yetzirah the seraphim are one of the ranks of heavenly beings, placed with the throne of glory, the ophanim, the holy animals and the ministering angels. Interpretation: Tradition reads the name as "burning ones" and pictures them as angels who praise God without stopping; the text says God shaped them from the letters.

### examples

- § 21 Four — He graved and hewed out of them the throne of glory, the ophanim, the seraph- im, the holy animals, and the ministering angels.
