This dual-form noun describes an architectural feature in Ezekiel's visionary temple, most commonly understood as hooks or pegs attached to the walls. Ancient versions suggest these were hook-shaped projections, possibly for hanging sacrificial animals during butchering. Alternative interpretations read the word as 'ledges' or 'edges,' referring to horizontal features along the walls. The term's rarity and technical nature have led to ongoing debate about its precise meaning. Whether hooks for meat or architectural ledges, the word describes structural details of the temple's sacrificial preparation areas.
