It is used metaphorically to describe something that rolls or moves in a circular motion. In the context of a whirlwind, it conveys the idea of a powerful, swirling force. The term can also imply a sense of movement or change, often associated with divine intervention or judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, wheels were a significant technological advancement, used in chariots and carts, symbolizing movement and progress. Whirlwinds, on the other hand, were natural phenomena that demonstrated the power and unpredictability of nature, often seen as manifestations of divine power or judgment. The imagery of a wheel or whirlwind would have been familiar and evocative to the original audience of the Hebrew Scriptures.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1534.htm">galgal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wheel<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wheels (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">גַּלְגַּל</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>wheel</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> Biblical Hebrew; Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb108604.gif">); — plural suffix <font class="hebrew2">גַּלְגִּלּוֺהִ֫י</font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/7-9.htm">Daniel 7:9</a> of throne-chariot of God. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>wheel <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1534.htm">galgal</a>; a wheel -- wheel. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1534.htm">galgal</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>גַּלְגִּלּ֖וֹהִי גלגלוהי gal·gil·lō·w·hî galgilLohi galgillōwhî<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/daniel/7-9.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 7:9</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">דִּי־ נ֔וּר <b> גַּלְגִּלּ֖וֹהִי </b> נ֥וּר דָּלִֽק׃</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> [was] ablaze with flames, <span class="itali">Its wheels</span> [were] a burning<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/7.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> flame, <span class="itali">[and] his wheels</span> [as] burning<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/7-9.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> forasmuch fire <span class="itali">wheels</span> fire a burning<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1535.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1535.htm">Strong's Hebrew 1535<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/galgillohi_1535.htm">gal·gil·lō·w·hî — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/1534.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1534"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1534" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1536.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1536"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1536" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
