spōōn ( כּף , kaph ; Septuagint θυΐ́σκη , thuı́skē , except in Jeremiah 52:18 , where it is κρεάγρα , kreágra , literally, "fork"): A hollow vessel, a censer; a small vessel in which incense was to be burnt, as is seen from the account given in Nu 7 of the oblations of the princes of the tribes after the setting-up of the tabernacle. Beginning with Numbers 7:14 , we meet at every succeeding 6th verse the statement, "one golden spoon of ten shekels, full of incense," till at Numbers 7:86 the summary statement is made, "the twelve golden spoons, full of incense."
