(urth) Claw = Fang?

[Daniel Petersen]

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)
