From ISBE: Wheel - hwel:

(1) 'ophan, is the usual word (Exodus 14:25, etc.). In Proverbs 20:26; Isaiah 28:27 the rollers of a threshing wagon are meant (see AGRICULTURE).


(2) galgal, "rolling thing," generally in the sense of "wheel" (Isaiah 5:28, etc.), but the Revised Version (British and American) in Ezekiel 10:2; Ezekiel 10:6; Ezekiel 10:13 has "whirling wheels," an advantageous change. The "wheel .... broken at the cistern" in Ecclesiastes 12:6 is the windlass for drawing the water, and by the figure the breakdown of the old man's breathing apparatus is probably meant. In Psalms 83:13, the King James Version has "wheel," but this translation (that of the Septuagint) is quite impossible; the Revised Version (British and American) "whirling dust" (sucked up by a miniature whirlwind) is perhaps right, but the translations proposed are end-less.


(3) gilgal, Isaiah 28:28, the roller of a threshing wagon.


(4) 'obhnayim, Jeremiah 18:3. See POTTER.
