<p> (כִּ, kaph, a hand, as elsewhere), a hollow dish or pan used as a censer for the [[Tabernacle]] and [[Temple]] (Exodus 25:29; Numbers 4:7; Numbers 7:14 sq.; 1 Kings 7:50; 2 Kings 25:14; 2 Chronicles 24:14; Jeremiah 52:18-19). The Orientals generally eat with the fingers, and so have no occasion for knives, forks, etc. (See [[Eating]]). Among the ancient [[Egyptians]] spoons were introduced when required for soup or other liquids; and perhaps even a knife was employed on some occasions, to facilitate the carving of a large joint, which is sometimes done in the East at the present day. The [[Egyptian]] spoons were of various forms and sizes. They were principally of ivory, bone, wood, or bronze, and other metals; and in some the handle terminated in a hook, by which, if required, they were suspended to a nail. Many were ornamented with the lotus flower; the handles of others were made to represent an animal or a human figure; some were of very arbitrary shape; and a smaller kind, of round form, probably intended for taking ointment out of a vase and transferring it to a shell or cup for immediate use, are occasionally discovered in the tombs. (Wilkinson, Anc. Egypt. 1, 183 sq.). (See [[Dish]]). </p>

<p> ''''' spōōn ''''' ( כּף , <i> ''''' kaph ''''' </i> ; [[Septuagint]] θυΐ́σκη , <i> ''''' thuı́skē ''''' </i> , except in Jeremiah 52:18 , where it is κρεάγρα , <i> '''''kreágra''''' </i> , literally, "fork"): A hollow vessel, a censer; a small vessel in which incense was to be burnt, as is seen from the account given in Nu 7 of the oblations of the princes of the tribes after the setting-up of the tabernacle. Beginning with Numbers 7:14 , we meet at every succeeding 6th verse the statement, "one golden spoon of ten shekels, full of incense," till at Numbers 7:86 the summary statement is made, "the twelve golden spoons, full of incense." </p>
