ΧΕΡΟΥΒʼ, χερουβʼ
CHEROUBʼ, cheroubʼ
Sounds Like: kheh-ROOV
Translations: cherub, a cherub
From the root: ΧΕΡΟΥΒ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word refers to a cherub, a type of celestial being or angelic creature mentioned frequently in the Old Testament and occasionally in the New Testament. Cherubim are often depicted as guardians of sacred places, such as the Garden of Eden or the Ark of the Covenant, and are associated with God's presence and glory. The final apostrophe (keraia) in 'ΧΕΡΟΥΒʼ' indicates that it is being used as a numeral, representing the number 600. However, given the context of the example usage, it is highly likely that the apostrophe is a scribal error or a non-standard notation, and the word is intended to be 'ΧΕΡΟΥΒ', referring to the angelic being. The example usage 'ΑΡΗϹΑ (ΧΑΡΟΥΒ) {C: ΧΕΡΟΥΒʼ} ΗΡΩΝʼ ΙΕΜΗΡ' suggests a list of names, where 'ΧΑΡΟΥΒ' (a variant spelling of 'ΧΕΡΟΥΒ') is likely a proper noun referring to a person or place, possibly related to the cherubim.
