The use of wheels suggests mobility, which may symbolize the dynamic nature of God's presence, reminiscent of the wheels in Ezekiel's vision (<a href="/ezekiel/1-15.htm">Ezekiel 1:15-21</a>). The number four often represents universality or completeness in the Bible, as seen in the four corners of the earth (<a href="/isaiah/11-12.htm">Isaiah 11:12</a>).and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand The attachment of the axles to the stand indicates a stable and secure construction, ensuring that the stands could be moved without compromising their integrity. This detail highlights the practical functionality of the temple furnishings, which were not only ornamental but also served specific purposes in temple rituals. The secure attachment can be seen as a metaphor for the firm foundation of faith and the stability provided by adherence to God's commandments.each wheel was a cubit and a half in diameter A cubit and a half, approximately 27 inches or 68 centimeters, indicates the substantial size of the wheels, suggesting the grandeur and significance of the temple furnishings. The precise measurement reflects the biblical emphasis on order and precision in worship, as seen in the detailed instructions for the tabernacle (Exodus 25-27).
