Rolling ThingROLLING THING
rol'-ing: Isaiah 17:13, the King James Version "like a rolling thing before the whirlwind," a noncommittal translation of galgal, "revolving thing," "wheel" (Ecclesiastes 12:6). the Revised Version (British and American) "like the whirling dust before the storm" is probably right.
See CHAFF; DUST; STUBBLE.
Strong's Hebrew
1534. galgal -- a wheel, whirl, whirlwind... heaven,
rolling thing, wheel. By reduplication from galal; a wheel; by analogy,
a whirlwind; also dust (as whirled) -- heaven,
rolling thing, wheel.
