( 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).

spōōn ( כּף , kaph ; Septuagint θυΐ́σκη , thuı́skē , except in Jeremiah 52:18 , where it is κρεάγρα , kreágra , 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."
