Dict: easton - Flesh-hook



easton:



Flesh-hook @ a many-pronged fork used in the sacrificial services ( kjv@1Samuel:2:13-14; kjv@Exodus:27:3 kjv@Exodus:38:3) by the priest in drawing away the flesh. The fat of the sacrifice, together with the breast and shoulder kjv@Leviticus:7:29-34), were presented by the worshipper to the priest. The fat was burned on the alter (3:3-5), and the breast and shoulder became the portion of the priests. But Hophni and Phinehas, not content with this, sent a servant to seize with a flesh-hook a further portion.
