Pulpit (ISBE)

DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD

pool´pit : Nehemiah 8:4 , "Ezra the scribe stood upon a mighdōl of wood." Mighdōl is one of the commonest words in the Old Testament and means simply a high object - here a scaffolding or platform (bema , 1 Esdras 9:42). "Tower" (so the Revised Version margin) gives an entirely wrong picture.
