Threshold

Easton's Bible Dictionary

1

Heb. miphtan, probably a projecting beam at a higher point than the threshold proper (1 Sam 5:4, 5; Ezek 9:3; 10:4, 18; 46:2; 47:1); also rendered “door” and “door-post.”

‘Asuppim, pl. (Neh 12:25), rendered correctly “storehouses” in the Revised Version. In 1 Chr 26:15, 17 the Authorized Version retains the word as a proper name, while in the Revised Version it is translated “storehouses.”
