Threshold
(1.) Heb. miphtan, probably a projecting beam at a higher point than the threshold proper (1 Sam 5:4, 1 Sam 5:5; Ezek 9:3; Ezek 10:4, Ezek 10:18; Ezek 46:2; Ezek 47:1); also rendered “door” and “door-post.”
(2.) ‘Asuppim, pl. (Neh 12:25), rendered correctly “storehouses” in the Revised Version. In 1 Chr 26:15, 1 Chr 26:17 the Authorized Version retains the word as a proper name, while in the Revised Version it is translated “storehouses.”
From Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897), by Matthew George Easton.
