Jeremiah 18:3

Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

Wheels, [ haa'aabªnaayim (H70)] - literally, 'on both stones.' The potter's horizontal lathe consisted of two round plates, the lower one larger, the upper smaller; of stone originally, but afterward of wood. On the upper the potter moulded the clay into what shapes he pleased. They are found represented in Egyptian remains. In Exodus 1:16 alone is the Hebrew word found elsewhere, but in a different sense.
