Global InformationAsuppim information
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".[1][2] 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,[3] though David Qimḥi,[4] pseudo-Abraham b. David,[5] David Altschuler,[6] and Alexander Bennett M'Grigor[7] put it to the south.
