 This word has traditionally been mistranslated as some kind of mystical and ethereal being, a type of "angel", and typically pronounced as  [[wp>Sareph]]. There is no indication within the text that the serepim are non-corporeal or possess superhuman power.
+Indeed, the word occurs only 3 times and the references do not give detailed description other than to indicate that they have hands and are seen moving coals around in a fire.
+Numbers 21:6 speaks of the grill masters in association with copper craftsmen and the imposition of a tax by [[Ihoh]]
+In Isaiah 6:6 the grill masters are described working the burning coals with tongs.
+Isaiah 6:2 is somewhat more cryptic, requiring further analysis.
