Wagon Cart <ref name="term_50490" />
<p> <strong> [[Cart,]] [[Wagon]] </strong> . The cart, like the chariot, is an Asiatic invention. The earliest wheeled carts show a light framework set upon an axle with solid wheels (illust. in Wilkinson, <em> Anc. Egyp </em> . [1878], i. 249). The type of cart in use under the Heb. monarchy may be seen in the [[Assyrian]] representation of the siege of [[Lachish]] (Layard, <em> [[Monuments]] of [[Nineveh]] </em> , ii. pl. 23), where women captives and their children are shown seated in wagons with a low wooden body (cf. &nbsp; 1 Samuel 6:14 ), furnished with wheels of 6 and 8 spokes. They were drawn by a pair of oxen (&nbsp; Numbers 7:3; &nbsp; Numbers 7:7-8 ) exceptionally by two cows (&nbsp; 1 Samuel 6:7; &nbsp; 1 Samuel 6:10 ) yoked to a pole which passed between them, and were used for the transport of persons (&nbsp; [[Genesis]] 45:19 ff.) and goods (Nu <em> l.c </em> .), including sheaves of grain to the threshing-floor (&nbsp; Amos 2:13 ). The rendering ‘covered wagons’ (&nbsp; Numbers 7:3 ) is doubtful. For the threshing-wagon, see Agriculture, [[Â§]] <strong> 3 </strong> . </p> <p> [[A.]] [[R.]] [[S.]] Kennedy. </p>
