axle (of a wheeled cart or stand)
Refers to the bronze axles that allowed the wheels on Solomon's temple stands to rotate. This rare technical term appears only in the description of the ten bronze stands crafted for the temple, each equipped with wheels mounted on bronze axles. The word is cognate with Aramaic, suggesting it may be a loan-word for specialized metalwork vocabulary.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The bronze axles that supported rotating wheels on the ten movable stands in Solomon's temple (1 Kings 7:30). The Hebrew term is rare, occurring only once, and the ancient versions struggled with it—the Greek rendered it loosely as 'attachments.' The Aramaic cognate and the context of bronze-working suggest this was technical vocabulary for temple artisanry. 1×
