storehouses (repositories for gathered provisions)
Storehouses or repositories where provisions, treasures, or temple supplies were kept. Chronicles mentions these structures near the temple gates, where Levitical gatekeepers guarded accumulated wealth and offerings. Nehemiah lists storehouses among the posts where temple singers and gatekeepers served. These buildings represented organizational infrastructure necessary for sustained worship and community life, requiring trusted personnel to manage what had been gathered for communal and sacred use.
Senses
1. sense 1 — 1 Chronicles 26:15 assigns the lot for the storehouse to Obed-edom's sons, positioning these repositories near the south gate of the temple complex. 1 Chronicles 26:17 specifies guard assignments, with Levites posted 'at the storehouse' to protect accumulated goods. Nehemiah 12:25 lists gatekeepers serving 'at the storehouses of the gates,' suggesting multiple storage facilities around the temple precincts. The Hebrew root relates to gathering or collecting, making storehouses literally 'places of what has been gathered'—whether grain, treasure, or sacred vessels. 3×
