Rejected at the threshold

Rejected at the threshold

Rejected utterly from all and everything. The 'threshold' means a canopy, the doorway of the house, that is the lower lintel connecting between the two doorposts of the door, opposite the entrance lintel to the house.

("And her master rose early in the morning and opened the doors of the house and went out to go his way; and behold, his concubine was fallen down at the doorway, and her hands were on the threshold" - Judges 19:27 (The incident of the concubine in Gibeah), and likewise: "Do not look despairing / that you were not alone in the tents where you saw the serpent's tracks / on the threshold" - Natan Yonatan / you, me forgetting)

Definition (Hebrew)

בְּהַשְׁאָלָה: דָּחָה מִכֹּל וָכֹל. שָׁלָל לְגַמְרֵי (סַף מַשְׁמָע אַסְקֻפָּה, מִפְתַּן הַבַּיִת, כְּלוֹמַר הַקּוֹרָה הַתַּחְתּוֹנָה הַמְּקַשֶּׁרֶת בֵּין שְׁתֵּי מְזוּזוֹת הַדֶּלֶת בַּהַקְבָּלָה לְמַשְׁקוֹף הַכְּנִיסָה לַבַּיִת).

("וַיָּקָם אֲדֹנֶיהָ בַּבֹּקֶר וַיִּפְתַּח דַּלְתוֹת הַבַּיִת וַיֵּצֵא לָלֶכֶת לְדַרְכּוֹ וְהִנֵּה הָאִשָּׁה פִילַגְשׁוֹ נֹפֶלֶת פֶּתַח הַבַּיִת וְיָדֶיהָ עַל הַסַּף"- שׁוֹפְטִים יט כז (מַעֲשֵׂה פִּילֶגֶשׁ בַּגִּבְעָה), וְכֵן:"אַל תַּבִּיט נוֹאָשׁ/ שֶׁלֹּא הָיִיתָ יָחִיד בְּאָהֳלֵי שֶׁרָאִיתָ עִקְבֵי נָחָשׁ/ עַל הַסַּף"- נָתָן יוֹנָתָן/ אוֹתְךָ, אוֹתִי שׁוֹכַחַת)
