Hooks - cooking apparatus for cooking the flesh of the sacrifices that fell to the priests. The hooks were "fastened" in the walls within the apartment, to hang the meat from, so as to roast it. [The Hebrew, hashªpatayim (H8240), comes from a root 'fixed' or 'placed,' shaapat (H8239). Others write the word with the Hebrew letter sin (s), which will then mean the circumferences, or edges, or borders of the tables.]
