nipje is derived from 'pclean ; so that this word, literally translated, means clean-keepers, bocause they preserved the shew-bread from growing mouldy; for, the order of the shew-bread upon the table was tbis :-The twelve loaves were baked in twelve metal frames, and then they were put in golden ones, on the table in two rows; these golden frames are here called Dinyp, dishes, . six of them were laid in one row, on the table, and over thein were laid golden staves, fixed in brackels, or boles, made in golden rods that were placed on each side the table standing upright, called here NIP, rods. These hules, or brackets, were placed a little higher than the loaves, that the air might come to them to hinder the loaves from growing mouldy; and therefore these staves were called pia, clean-keepers. These staves also served for a floor for the second row of six loaves, and over them was another row of staves; and therefore they were also called a covering.

Then there were like two sauce-boats, one to each row, to bold the frankincense necessary for the shew bread, as in Leviticus, chap. xxiv. ver. 6, and 7. These are called noe, rendered spoons ; büt, in Hebrew, any thing, that has a cavity to contain any thing, is so called. 43
