 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.)
