Seraphim - Isaiah 6:1-2

Isaiah 6:1-2 ESV 
 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings:with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

The Hebrew word for seraphim is the same word for the fiery serpents that attacked the Israelites in the desert wilderness in Numbers 24:6. Both creatures are associated with the fire of The Lord.
