This is a Greek transliteration of the Hebrew כְּרוּבִים
kerūḇīm, the plural form; the proper singular form is כְּרוּב
kerūḇ, whence "cherub". The cherubim in Judaism and later in Christianity were a class of angels; see e.g.
Genesis 3:24. This term appears first in Greek in the
Septuagint, then in
Hebrews 9:5. See Lagarde,
Onomastica Sacra 173.72, 185.82, and Theodoret,
Interpretation of Ezekiel 1.21 (PG 81.829c).
