I am thinking of the Biblical passage in which "a cherubim" is set to guard the Garden of

Eden. An illogical linguistic construction, where a singular article is paired with a plural 

noun, is used to describe an angelic being which does not fit into a logical framework of 

human comprehension yet still, apparently, is assumed to exist.
