However, specific Strong's Greek entries that directly correspond to the idea of a wheel in the same symbolic context are not readily available. The Greek term τροχός (trochos), meaning "wheel," could be considered analogous in terms of its basic meaning, though it does not carry the same symbolic weight as in the Hebrew and Aramaic contexts. Usage: The term גַּלְגַּל is used in the context of describing a wheel, particularly in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament. Context: The Aramaic word גַּלְגַּל appears in the context of the book of Daniel, specifically in Daniel 7:9. This passage is part of a vision described by the prophet Daniel, where he sees thrones being set in place and the Ancient of Days taking His seat. The imagery includes wheels, which are often associated with divine chariots or thrones, symbolizing movement, authority, and the execution of divine judgment. The use of the term in this context emphasizes the majesty and dynamic nature of the divine presence. The concept of wheels in biblical literature often conveys the idea of God's omnipresence and the unstoppable nature of His will.
