There is emerging consensus...

that the motifs used to display seraphs in Hyksos-era Palestine...

had their original sources in Egyptian uraeus iconography

In Kabbalah...

the seraphim are the higher angels of the World of Beri'ah [Creation], whose understanding of their distance from the absolute divinity of Atziluth [Emanation] causes their continual 'burning up' in self-nullification.

Through this, they ascend to God, and return to their place.
