The Key Word — שְׁפַתַּיִם, ve.hash.fa.Ta.yimgenerated
The word שְׁפַתַּיִם (shaphatim) is a dual noun that may refer to hooks or stalls, possibly for holding animals. Its exact meaning is uncertain, but it plays a role in the sacrificial system described in this verse.
The dual form indicates there are two of these hooks, which were likely designed for practical use in the temple's sacrificial rituals. The ambiguity in its meaning suggests it could also relate to ash heaps or fire-places, showing the multifaceted nature of temple practices.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations agree in rendering the key elements of the verse, particularly the description of the hooks and the placement of the offerings.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb מוּכָנִ֥ים (mukhaniyim) governs the main clause, indicating that the hooks were established in the temple. The structure emphasizes the arrangement of the hooks and the offerings.
The sentence is built around the subject of the hooks, with additional details provided about their dimensions and the context of their use, reflecting the Hebrew prose style of detailed description.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates שְׁפַתַּיִם as ἕχουσιν, which means 'they have'. This choice may reflect a broader interpretation of the hooks as integral components of the temple's sacrificial system, rather than focusing solely on their physical attributes.
This translation shows a shift from a direct description to an emphasis on possession and use within the temple context.

It certainly designates something “within” the porch, and therefore could not have been anything attached to the tables which were “without.” Our translators, following the ancient Chaldee paraphrast, have probably given the true sense, hooks, upon which the flesh of the victims was hung after it had been prepared upon the tables.

Tables
(Mark 7:4) means banqueting-couches or benches, on which the Jews reclined when at meals. This custom, along with the use of raised tables like ours, was introduced among the Jews after the Captivity. Before this they had, properly speaking, no table. That which served the purpose was a skin or piece of leather spread out on the carpeted floor. Sometimes a stool was placed in the middle of this skin. (See ABRAHAM’S BOSOM; BANQUET; MEALS.)

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

Offering
An oblation, dedicated to God. Thus Cain consecrated to God of the first-fruits of the earth, and Abel of the firstlings of the flock (Gen. 4:3, 4). Under the Levitical system different kinds of offerings are specified, and laws laid down as to their presentation. These are described under their distinctive names.
In the Hebrew, an offering, minchah, is distinguished from a sacrifice, zebah, as being bloodless. In our version, however, the word offering is often used for a sacrifice, as in the case of peace offerings, sin offerings, etc. Of the proper offerings, that is, the unbloody offerings, some accompanied the sacrifices, as flour, wine, salt; others were not connected with any sacrifices. Like the sacrifices, some, as the first fruits and tenths, were obligatory; other were voluntary offerings of devotion. Various sorts of offerings are enumerated in the books of Moses. Among these are,
1. Fine flour, or meal;
2. Cakes baked in an oven;
3. Cakes baked on a plate or shallow pan;
4. Cakes cooked in deep vessel by frying in oil, (English version, "frying pan," though some understand here a gridiron or a plate with holes;)
