  Wagon
     Heb. aghalah; so rendered in Gen. 45:19, 21, 27; 46:5; Num. 7:3,
     7,8, but elsewhere rendered "cart" (1 Sam. 6:7, etc.). This
     vehicle was used for peaceful purposes. In Ezek. 23:24, however,
     it is the rendering of a different Hebrew word, and denotes a
     war-chariot.

        drawn by horses; especially, one used for carrying freight
        or merchandise.
