Threshold
Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897)
(l.) Hebrews miphtan, probably a projecting beam at a higher point than the threshold proper (1 Samuel 5:4,5; Ezekiel 9:3; 10:4,18; 46:2; 47:1); also rendered “door” and “door-post.” (2.) ‘Asuppim, pi. (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.”
