      Actually not, though. The old scrolls and texts generally translate to a many winged being whose eyes were covered

      Some dingus out there mistranslated that as covered in eyes and suddenly the children all started memeing about it despite being completely wrong.

      It could make for a biblically accurate Ophenim but is that even really an angel? They pretty much showed up one time as wheels of a cart.

        Seraphim, you’re talking about Seraphim. Who are one choir of angels.
        The one the gets me though is Cherubim/Cherubs. How does a being with four wings, four faces (three of which come from animals), and the hooves of an ox, become a fat infant?

          Yes and also the source of the covered in eyes mistranslation from Isaiah 6
