1 Kings 7:33

their axletrees Literally, -hands" as in the previous verse.

their naves By etymology the original word must refer to some curved part of the wheel. It seems better therefore to render, with R.V., felloes here, and transfer the word -naves" to translate the last of the four nouns, which by its derivation signifies -that to which all the parts converge." The third of the Hebrew words is akin to that which in Exodus 27:10-11 is used for the -pillars" or -poles" which supported the hangings of the tabernacle. Hence here most likely -the spokes" of the wheels.
