Lintel

Easton, 1897

(1.) Heb. mashkoph, a projecting cover (Exodus 12:22, Exodus 12:23; Exodus 12:7, "upper door post," but R.V. "lintel"); the head-piece of a door, which the Israelites were commanded to mark with the blood of the paschal lamb.

(2.) Heb. kaphtar. Amos 9:1; Zephaniah 2:14 (R.V. correctly "chapiters," as in A.V. marg.).
