the wheelwork
A round or rolling object, most commonly a wheel; also refers to rolling debris, like whirling dust or chaff. In poetic or prophetic contexts, denotes movement or something in rapid, circular motion, sometimes used metaphorically of the celestial spheres or of a whirlwind. The word thus commonly refers both to an ordinary wheel and, by analogy, to objects caught in or characterized by rolling, spinning, or sweeping circular movement.

the rolling-wheel
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in the absolute state with prefixed definite article (הַ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גַּלְגַּל is a reduplicated formation from גלל, evoking repetitive rolling motion. Rendering it as "the rolling-wheel" preserves both the concrete sense of a wheel and the root idea of circular, rolling movement, while reflecting the definite singular masculine form. |
