Door-keeper       This word is used in Ps. 84:10 (R.V. marg., "stand at the       threshold of," etc.), but there it signifies properly "sitting       at the threshold in the house of God." The psalmist means that       he would rather stand at the door of God's house and merely look       in, than dwell in houses where iniquity prevailed.                Persons were appointed to keep the street door leading into       the interior of the house (John 18:16, 17; Acts 12:13).       Sometimes females held this post.
