ti.khon denotes an intermediate or central position within a sequence, structure, court, or watch.

The term consistently identifies the intermediate member of an ordered arrangement: a building level or chamber area, a bar among boards, a court, or a watch. Its use extends from spatial placement in structures to the position of a watch within a sequence of watches.

   The adjective marks what stands between lower and higher, earlier and later, or surrounding elements. In 1 Kings 6:6 and 1 Kings 6:8, the APB renders building levels as the “middle story”; in Exodus 26:28 it renders a bar “in the midst of the boards,” while Ezekiel 42:5 speaks of chambers affected by space “from the lower and from the middle.” The same positional use appears in 2 Kings 20:4 as a “middle court” and in Judges 7:19 as the “middle watch.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “middle” in phrases such as “middle story,” “middle bar,” “middle court,” and “middle watch,” and also uses “from the middle” for building areas. These renderings show the clauses' overall positional sense rather than a fixed English equivalent in every instance.
