<p> [[Drawn]] by cattle (2 Samuel 6:6). Open or covered (Numbers 20:3). The CHARIOT was drawn by horses. There are scarcely any roads in [[Syria]] and Palestine, so that horse carriages are almost unknown. The cart wheels are often of solid wood. WAGONS: Genesis 45:19 [[Goods]] are mostly conveyed on the backs of camels, asses, oxen. The [[Assyrian]] wagon is seen represented in bas-relief on the monuments at Nimrud and Koyunjik. </p> | <p> [[Drawn]] by cattle ( 2 Samuel 6:6). Open or covered ( Numbers 20:3).
