Threshold

Easton, 1897

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

(2.) Asuppim, pl. (Nehemiah 12:25), rendered correctly "storehouses" in the Revised Version. In 1 Chronicles 26:15, 17 the Authorized Version retains the word as a proper name, while in the Revised Version it is translated "storehouses."
