In Hebrew, the 550 Rulers King Solomon set over his work
are called Sarim, translated as "rulers," "prince,"
and "chief" a title being used for several types
of angels. The Sarim are considered part of the singing
angels who continually sing the praises of God. The Torah
tels us that there are three "precious pearls"
in each direction giving us a set of twelve very special
angels actually named in the Zohar. Some may recognize these
as the twelve six-winged seraphim giving us the 12X6=72
sarim or princes/governors of all the language groups of
the world.
Another role given to the Sarim is the protection of the
nations of the World. Some 70 angels where given this task.
However, it is stated that all these angels fell from grace
following the war in heaven, all accept the Archangel Michael.

Further confusion abound that there is referenceto Se'irim,
or hairy demons as the word itself means, are mentioned
in Leviticus 17:7 and 2 Chronicles 11:15 as "goat-demons".
Isaiah 34:14 says that the "goat-demons" greet
each other amoung the ruins of Edom...." The Book of
Enoch mentions sa'ir, sa'irim which also refers to 'he-goats'
of which the Angel Azazel was linked. Are Sarim, Irim and
Se'irim, the same?
As you can see what and who the Sarim actually are is a
little confusing.
