Storehouses

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

stor'-houz-iz, -ez: The following chief changes in the use of this word (representing various Hebrew words) in the Revised Version (British and American) to be noted are: InDe 28:8, the Revised Version (British and American) has "barns" ('acamim); in1Ch 27:25, "treasures" ('otsroth); inNe 12:25, for "thresholds" has "storehouses" ('asuppim), so, for "Asuppim" in1Ch 26:15,17("house of Asuppim," "toward Asuppim") has "store-house"; inLu 12:24, for "storehouse" has "store-chamber" (tameion). In other passages the King James Version "storehouse" is retained (Ge 41:56;2Ch 32:28, mickenoth;Ps 33:7, 'otsroth;Jer 50:26, ma'abhucim).
