{Nehemiah 3:1} Then Eliashib 475 the high 1419 priest 3548 rose up 6965 z8799 with his brethren 251 the priests, 3548 and they builded 1129 z8799 x853 the sheep 6629 gate; 8179 they x1992 sanctified 6942 z8765 it, and set up 5975 z8686 the doors 1817 of it; even unto x5704 the tower 4026 of Meah 3968 they sanctified 6942 z8765 it, unto x5704 the tower 4026 of Hananeel. 2606
Eliashib:
"And Jeshuaª begatª°¹ Joiakim,ª Joiakimª also begatª°¹ Eliashib,ª and Eliashibª begatª°¹ Joiada,ª" {Neh 12:10} + "And [one] of the sonsª¹ of Joiada,ª the sonª of Eliashibª the highª priest,ª [was] son in lawª to Sanballatª the Horonite:ª therefore I chasedª° him from¹¹ me." {Neh 13:28}
the 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 anything 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. "And from above¹¹ the gateª of Ephraim,ª and above¹ the oldª gate,ª and above¹ the fishª gate,ª and the towerª of Hananeel,ª and the towerª of Meah,ª even unto¹ the sheepª gate:ª and they stood stillª° in the prisonª gate.ª" {Neh 12:39} + "Nowª there isª° atª Jerusalemª byª the¹ sheepª [market] a pool,ª which² is calledª° in the Hebrew tongueª Bethesda,ª havingª° fiveª porches.ª" {Jhn 5:2}
sanctified it:
"And the priestsª and the Levitesª purified²° themselves,¹ and purifiedª°¹ the people,ª and the gates,ª and the wall.ª" {Neh 12:30} + "And the officersª° shall speakª° unto¹ the people,ª saying,ª° What¹ manª [is there] that¹ hath builtª° a newª house,ª and hath not¹ dedicatedª° it? let him go²°¹ and returnª° to his house,ª lest¹ he dieª° in the battle,ª and anotherª manª dedicateª° it." {Deu 20:5} + "[[A Psalmª [and] Songª [at] the dedicationª of the houseª of David.]]ª I will extolª° thee, O LORD;ª for¹ thou hast lifted me up,ª° and hast not¹ made my foesª° to rejoiceª° over me." {Psa 30:1} *title "In all¹ thy waysª acknowledgeª° him, and he¹ shall directª° thy paths.ª" {Prv 3:6} + "Honourª°¹ the LORDª with thy substance,ª¹ and with the firstfruitsª¹ of all¹ thine increase:ª" {Prv 3:9}
the tower:
"And from above¹¹ the gateª of Ephraim,ª and above¹ the oldª gate,ª and above¹ the fishª gate,ª and the towerª of Hananeel,ª and the towerª of Meah,ª even unto¹ the sheepª gate:ª and they stood stillª° in the prisonª gate.ª" {Neh 12:39} + "Behold,¹ the daysª come,ª° saithª° the LORD,ª that the cityª shall be builtª° to the LORDª from the towerª¹ of Hananeelª unto the gateª of the corner.ª" {Jer 31:38} + "All¹ the landª shall be turnedª° as a plainª from Gebaª¹ to Rimmonª southª of Jerusalem:ª and it shall be lifted up,ª° and inhabitedª° in her place,¹ from Benjamin'sª gateª¹ unto¹ the placeª of the firstª gate,ª unto¹ the cornerª gate,ª and [from] the towerª of Hananeelª unto¹ the king'sª winepresses.ª" {Zch 14:10}
