Nehemiah 3:1
1 The names and order of them that built the wall. Eliashib.12:10; 13:28the sheep gate.This gate is supposed to have immediately communicated with the temple, and to have been called the sheep gate, because the sheep intended for sacrifice passed through it. But, after all which learned men have written on this subject, which is but of little interest, we scarcely know any thing about these gates: what they were, why called by these names, or in what part of the wall they were situated, beyond what may be learned from the parallel passages. 12:39; Joh 5:2sanctified it.12:30; De 20:5; Ps 30:1; *titlePr 3:6,9the tower.12:39; Jer 31:38; Zec 14:10Nehemiah 12:39
