daloypolizei:

hi your local jew here reminding you that cherubim, seraphim, nephilim, and words of that nature ARE PLURAL and therefore should not be used to refer to a singular one of these creatures like i see every day of my g-dforsaken life

a single instance would be referred to as a cherub, a seraph, a nephil, et cetera

these words originated from hebrew, and in hebrew -im and -ot are our plural endings. so if you say, like, nephilim in order to refer to a single nephil, it’s like you’re saying “look, a dogs!” it just doesn’t match up and you look really silly

goyim you can reblog please do so to spare yourselves and your friends from this thing that i legitimately see everywhere i turn

  16. deadtower said: @wrathful-banette as for your question, they’re not specific to judaism. they are also shared by islam (and technically christianity, but as christianity did NOT come up with these concepts and only uses them because christianity piggybacks off of judaism, i really only feel comfortable saying judaism and islam). but the post isn’t about who came up with them, it’s about the ending to the word and how people are misusing the hebrew plurals of -im and -ot ! :p
  17. deadtower said: @wrathful-banette @alpama the point is not what religion or culture they belong to, the point is that when you are saying seraphIM and nephilIM and so on and so forth you are using the HEBREW PLURAL (-im). as long as you are using the hebrew plural you need to follow the hebrew rules. you can use “seraphs” and “cherubs” and so on all day long, i don’t care, but if you’re using seraphim and cherubim you CANNOT use them to refer to a single seraph and cherub. if that makes sense!
  18. alpama said: @wrathful-banette thats the thing that kind of confuses me about this post. these aren’t specifically jewish concepts? christianity and islam also teach about these beings
