Dict: easton - Hanging

easton:

Hanging @ (as a punishment), a mark of infamy inflicted on the dead bodies of criminals kjv@Deuteronomy:21:23) rather than our modern mode of punishment. Criminals were first strangled and then hanged kjv@Numbers:25:4; kjv@Deuteronomy:21:22). (
See kjv@2Samuel:21:6 for the practice of the Gibeonites.) Hanging (as a curtain).

(1.) Heb. masak, (a) before the entrance to the court of the tabernacle kjv@Exodus:35:17); (b) before the door of the tabernacle (26:36-37); (c) before the entrance to the most holy place, called "the veil of the covering" (35:12; 39:34), as the word properly means.

(2.) Heb. kelaim, tapestry covering the walls of the tabernacle kjv@Exodus:27:9 kjv@Exodus:35:17; kjv@Numbers:3:26) to the half of the height of the wall kjv@Exodus:27:18; comp. 26:16). These hangings were fastened to pillars.

(3.) Heb. bottim ( kjv@2Kings:23:7), "hangings for the grove" (R.V., "for the Asherah"); marg., instead of "hangings," has "tents" or "houses." Such curtained structures for idolatrous worship are also alluded to in kjv@Ezekiel:16:16.
