Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [3]
is an incorrect rendering in the A.V. at 1 Kings 7:33 for חִַשֻּׁר , Chishshuhr ( Gathered; Sept. Πραγματεία ; Vulg. Canthuas ) , which rather denotes the Hub, or nave, where the spokes unite, while חַשֻּׁק , Chishshik ( Fastened; Sept. blends with the preceding; Vulg. Mediolus ) , rendered "felloe" in the same verse, really designates the spokes themselves. (See Wheel).
