* at the side.
   Two tables were on each side, as you come into the porch of
   the gate; and two on each side of the inner part of the gate
   that looked towards the altar; in all eight tables, on which
   they slew and cut up the victims.  It does not appear that any
   such tables were used either in the tabernacle or temple; and
   this seems to intimate the introduction of a new and more
   spiritual dispensation:  See the referemces.

 * as one goeth up.  or, at the step.
