A cherub (Hebrew כרוב, plural כרובים kruvim) is a supernatural entity mentioned several times in the Torah (the Hebrew Bible), and in the Book of Revelation (a New Testament text), as well as often being depicted in western art. The correct plural can be written as cherubim or cherubs; the former has theological connotations, whilst the latter generally refers to the stereotypical depictions of cherubim in western art. Because most English speakers are unfamiliar with Hebrew plural formation, the word cherubims is sometimes incorrectly used as a plural.
