Bible Dictionaries at a Glance
carts in Fausset's Bible Dictionary
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 Israel, 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.
