Cherubim

A cherub (/ˈtʃɛrəb/;[1] plural cherubim; Hebrew: כְּרוּב‎ kərūv, pl. כְּרוּבִים kərūvîm) is a mythological and tetamorphical beast that appears in ancient Hebrew poetry, commonly depicted as attending to the throne of God.

Symbolism and abilities
Cherubim appear throughout the Hebrew Bible and are used for symbolism in Saint John's book of Revelation. Cherubim are representations of God's attributes by each of their heads. Cherubim are not actual entities that serve God, but rather symbolize His glory and royalty.

In the Book of Ezekiel, they transport God's throne. In the Israelite poem, "Song of David", which occurs twice in the Hebrew Bible, in 2 Samuel 22 and Psalm 18, the cherubim participate in God's theophany and act as a vehicle upon which Yahweh descends to earth from Heaven.

In Genesis 3:24, Elohim stations cherubim at the east side of Eden and places a swinging sword before them to destroy any who dare enter.
