Ax

like men wielding axes in a thicket of trees

The charge was a pim for sharpening a plowshare or mattock, a third of a shekel for sharpening a pitchfork or an axe, and a third of a shekel for repointing an oxgoad.

Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles and a basin resting on four supports, with wreaths at each side.

There were four wheels under the panels, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand; each wheel was a cubit and a half in diameter.

If the axe is dull and the blade unsharpened, more strength must be exerted, but skill produces success.
