spokes of a wheel; the rods connecting the hub to the rim
This plural noun with suffix denotes the 'spokes' of wheels, appearing in the description of Solomon's temple furnishings (1 Kgs 7:33). Spokes bind the wheel's rim (felloe) to the central hub (nave), enabling rotation. The bronze stands for the temple's lavers featured elaborate wheels with cast spokes, demonstrating skilled craftsmanship. The term occurs only in this technical description of sacred objects.
Senses
1. sense 1 — First Kings 7:33 catalogs the parts of the bronze wheeled stands: 'their spokes, their rims, their hubs, and their axles.' The plural with third-person suffix ('their spokes') emphasizes the complex engineering of these sacred furnishings. Cross-language glosses transliterate or describe the technical term: English and French 'spokes,' Spanish 'radios' (spokes), and German 'spokes,' all identifying the structural elements connecting hub to rim. 1×
