Ezekiel 40:43 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Hooks. — This is a word of doubtful meaning, found elsewhere only in Psalms 68:13, where it is translated pots. It certainly designates something “within” the porch, and therefore could not have been anything attached to the tables which were “without.” Our translators, following the ancient Chaldee paraphrast, have probably given the true sense, hooks, upon which the flesh of the victims was hung after it had been prepared upon the tables.

Ezekiel 40:43

43 And within were hooks,i an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
