Threshold (1.) Hebrews miphtan, probably a projecting beam at a higher point than the threshold proper (1 Samuel 5:4, 5; Ezek. 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." Easton's Bible Dictionary
