Threshing

Easton's Bible Dictionary
Threshold

1. Heb. 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, 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."

The "house of Asuppim," or simply "the Asuppim," is mentioned in (1 Chronicles 26:15,17) as a part, probably a gate of the enclosure of the "house of Jehovah," apparently at its southwest corner. The allusion in (Nehemiah 12:29) is undoubtedly to the same place. [GATE]
