In Exodus 12:22,23 the 'lintel' is the beam that runs along the top of a door and joins the two side-posts. The word is mashqoph, and occurs only in the above passage and in Exodus 12:7 , where it is translated 'upper door post,' but clearly means the lintel. In 1 Kings 6:31 the word is ayil, which is often translated 'posts.' In this passage its meaning is doubtful. In Amos 9:1; Zephaniah 2:14 the word is kaphtor, which is elsewhere translated 'knop.' It may refer to some device placed over a door.
