A description can be found in Ezekiel chapter 1 and Ezekiel chapter 10; similar to a lamassu (winged bull with a human torso) in the pre-exilic texts of the Hebrew Bible, more humanoid in later texts.
- (post-biblical) A winged angel, described by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite () as the second highest order of angels, ranked above thrones and below seraphim.
