Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root עגל (ʿāgal), meaning "to revolve" or "to roll."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint for עֲגָלָה is often related to the Greek word ἅμαξα (G2375), which also means "cart" or "wagon." This term is used in similar contexts to describe a vehicle used for transportation, reflecting the continuity of this concept across the Hebrew and Greek biblical texts.

Usage: The term עֲגָלָה appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, typically describing a vehicle used for carrying loads or people. It is often associated with agricultural or ceremonial purposes.

Context: • The Hebrew word עֲגָלָה (ʿăgālāh) is used to describe a cart or wagon, a vehicle with wheels that is used for transportation. In the ancient Near Eastern context, such vehicles were essential for moving goods, agricultural produce, and sometimes people over land.
• In the Old Testament, עֲגָלָה is mentioned in several passages. For instance, in 1 Samuel 6:7, the Philistines use a new cart to return the Ark of the Covenant to Israel: "Now then, prepare a new cart and two milk cows that have never been yoked. Hitch the cows to the cart, but send their calves away, back to the field."
• In 2 Samuel 6:3, David uses a new cart to transport the Ark of God: "They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart."
• The use of carts was not limited to religious or ceremonial purposes. In Genesis 45:19, Pharaoh instructs Joseph to send carts to bring his family to Egypt: "You are also directed to tell them, ‘Do this: Take some carts from Egypt for your young children and your wives, and bring your father and come.’"
• The construction and use of carts in biblical times reflect the technological and cultural practices of the period, highlighting the importance of wheeled vehicles in daily life and religious practices.
