A light, covered conveyance, resembling a sedan chair, or a palanquin; borne by men, but oftener at the present day in Syria between two mules or camels. Solomon’s chariot, So 3:9, or bed, is supposed to have been an elegant mule-litter. The Hebrew word translated litters in Isa 66:20, is rendered wagons in Nu 7:3.
