Claw = Fang?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I don't think seraphim are affirmatively both angelic and serpentine in the
canonical books.

For what it's worth:

 1) serpent, fiery serpent
    1a) poisonous serpent (fiery from burning effect of poison)
 2) seraph, seraphim
    2a) majestic beings with 6 wings, human hands or voices in attendance
        upon God
?Brown-Driver-Briggs (Old Testament Hebrew-English Lexicon)

>From H8313; burning, that is, (figuratively) poisonous (serpent);
specifically a saraph or symbolical creature (from their copper
color):?fiery (serpent), seraph.
?Strong's (Hebrew & Chaldee Dictionary of the Old Testament)
