Charles Spurgeon's Illustration Collection [1]

Clemens Brentano, a literary acquaintance of Dr. Krummacher, and a Catholic, once said to the doctor, 'Till you Protestants pull down the chatter-box,' ('Plapperkasten,') be meant the pulpit, 'or, at least, throw it into the corner, where it ought to be, there is no hope of you.' I could only reply to him, 'It is true indeed, that our 'Plapperkasten' stands greatly in the way of you Catholics.'

The pulpit is the Thermopyho of Protestantism, the tower of the flock, the Palladium of the church of God. Well might Paul magnify his office, for not only Glasgow but the city of our God 'flourishes by the preaching of the word.'

Webster's Dictionary [2]

(1): ( n.) An elevated place, or inclosed stage, in a church, in which the clergyman stands while preaching.

(2): ( a.) Of or pertaining to the pulpit, or preaching; as, a pulpit orator; pulpit eloquence.

(3): ( n.) A desk, or platform, for an orator or public speaker.

(4): ( n.) The whole body of the clergy; preachers as a class; also, preaching.

King James Dictionary [3]

PUL'PIT, n. L. pulpitum, a state, scaffold, or higher part of a stage.

1. An elevated place or inclosed stage in a church, in which the preacher stands. It is called also a desk. 2. In the Roman theater, the pulpitum was the place where the players performed their parts, lower than the scene and higher than the orchestra. 3. A movable desk, from which disputants pronounced their dissertations, and authors recited their works.

Morrish Bible Dictionary [4]

migdal. Some temporary platform on which Ezra stood,  Nehemiah 8:4; probably the same as that called 'the stairs' in  Nehemiah 9:4 . The Hebrew word is often translated 'tower.'

Easton's Bible Dictionary [5]

 Nehemiah 8:4Ezra

Holman Bible Dictionary [6]

 Nehemiah 8:4

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [7]

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.
