STOREHOUSE (בֵּ֣ית הָאﯴצָ֗ר, house of the store, treasure; i.e. treasury, storehouse). Malachi charged that the people of his day had robbed God because they had failed to bring their tithes into the “storehouse” of God (Mal 3:10); he evidently had reference to the Temple treasury. In Nehemiah’s time the high priest and the Levites were to receive tithes from the laity. The Levites then were to take a tithe of the tithes to the “storehouse” of the Temple (Neh 10:38). “Storehouse” in this passage thus seems to refer to a special treasury-chamber of the Temple. In Jeremiah’s time Ebed-melech took men with him to the palace (“house of the king”), to a wardrobe of the storehouse in order to get rags and worn-out clothes with which to make a rope to lift Jeremiah from his prison cistern (Jer 38:11). “Storehouse” in this context apparently is an equivalent of “storeroom.”
