Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel,.... In the same form and fashion as one of them; the Targum is,

"like a chariot of glory;''

a splendid one, curiously wrought; unless reference is had in it to the chariot of Ezekiel's vision:

their axle trees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten; cast together when the base was.
