    My own kavannah, while saying veha'ofanim...

    Ofanim are wheels, the pargon of artificial constructs (simple machines).

    Chayos are raw wild natural things. They even stand in contrast to domesticated beheimos.

    Serafim are named for the nearest thing to intangible.

    Qol ra'ash gadol is the heavenly sound of a maaseh mitzvah.

    When a person does a mitzvah maasis, he elevates the mal'akhim caused by human artifice and nature, and lifts them to the level of sefarim. This elevation of the physical toward its source is Barukh Kevod Hashem miMeqomo!
