The opening as it read in October 6, 2023
Biblical location or set of locations in the Second Temple According to the Hebrew Bible, the Asuppim ( Biblical Hebrew : אֲסֻפִּים ʾĂsuppīm ) was a location or set of locations in the Second Temple . The word appears to be a masculine plural noun formed of the root אספ gather , and is usually translated "storehouses". The word appears three times in the Hebrew Bible , once in Neh 12:25 ( construct state , "Asuppim of the gates") and twice in 1 Chr 26 . Levite guards were stationed at the Asuppim. In Nehemiah , the guards of the Asuppim are given as follows: Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah , Meshullam , Talmon, and Akkub . In 1 Chronicles , the guarding of the Asuppim is given to "the sons of Obed-Edom " who guard it "two by two (שנים שנים)". John Lightfoot argues the Asuppim was located along the western wall of the Temple, though David Qimḥi , pseudo- Abraham b. David , David Altschuler , and Alexander Bennett M'Grigor put it to the south.
