A seraph (pl. seraphim) is a member of the highest choir of angels. They sit at God's right hand, and have six wings.

The term "Seraph" comes from the Hebrew word for "One who is burning", and, in the book of Isaiah, they are described as flying by the throne of God, praising Him, their voices causing thunder and smoke. One touches Isaiah's mouth with a burning coal, purifying him to speak the word of the Lord.

In the book of Enoch they are described as heavenly serpents, standing guard over the Throne of God and singing His praises.
