Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to revolve.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint and the New Testament is τροχός (trochos), Strong's Greek Number G5164. This term is used in James 3:6 to describe the "wheel of life," emphasizing the cyclical and influential nature of the tongue in human existence. The Greek term shares the concept of circularity and movement inherent in the Hebrew אוֹפָן. Usage: The term אוֹפָן is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a wheel, often in the context of chariots or the visionary descriptions of divine chariots. Context: אוֹפָן (ophan) appears in several key passages within the Hebrew Scriptures, primarily in contexts that describe wheels associated with chariots or divine visions. The most notable usage is found in the book of Ezekiel, where the prophet describes a vision of a divine chariot with wheels. In Ezekiel 1:15-21, the wheels are described as part of a complex and awe-inspiring vision of God's glory, where the wheels are full of eyes and move in concert with the living creatures. This imagery emphasizes the mobility and omnipresence of the divine chariot, symbolizing God's ability to move and act throughout the world.
