Nehemiah 3:1-16
Eliashib Neh 12:10, 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. Neh 12:39; John 5:2 sanctified it Neh 12:30; Deut 20:5; Ps 30:1 *title Prov 3:6, Prov 3:9 the tower Neh 12:39; Jer 31:38; Zech 14:10 next unto him Heb. at his hand the men Neh 7:36; Ezra 2:34 Zaccur Neh 10:12 the fish gate Neh 12:39; 2Chr 33:14; Zeph 1:10 the beams Neh 3:6, Neh 2:8 the doors Neh 6:1, Neh 7:1 Meremoth Neh 3:21, Neh 10:15 Urijah Ezra 8:33, Uriah Meshullam Neh 10:7 the Tekoites Neh 3:27; 2Sam 14:2; Amos 1:1 their nobles Judg 5:23; Jer 5:4-5; 1Cor 1:26; 1Tim 6:17-18 put not Jer 27:2, Jer 27:8, Jer 27:12, Jer 30:8-9; Matt 11:29; Acts 15:10 Neh 12:39 the Gibeonite Josh 9:3-27; 2Sam 21:2 Mizpah Neh 3:19; 2Chr 16:6 the throne That is, probably, the palace of the Persian governor, west of the Euphrates; the term throne being used to signify any royal abode. For Sir J. Chardin, describing a splendid tent erected by the king of Persia, says "that there was an inscription wrought upon the cornice of the anti-chamber, which gave it the appellation of the throne of the second Solomon." Sitting upon a throne has, however, sometimes been granted to governors. Neh 2:8 the goldsmiths Neh 3:31-32; Isa 46:6 of the apothecaries Gen 50:2; Exod 30:25; Eccl 10:1 fortified or, left the broad wall Neh 12:38 the ruler Neh 3:12, Neh 3:17 even Neh 3:23, Neh 3:28-30 Hattush Neh 10:4 Harim Neh 10:5 Pahathmoab Neh 7:11, Neh 10:14; Ezra 2:6, Ezra 8:4 other piece Heb. second measure the tower Neh 12:38 the ruler Neh 3:9, Neh 3:14-18 he and his daughters Exod 35:25; Acts 21:8-9; Phil 4:3 the valley gate Neh 2:13 Zanoah There were two towns of the name of Zanoah in the tribe of Judah. See the parallel passages. Neh 11:30; Josh 15:34, Josh 15:56; 1Chr 4:18 the dung gate Neh 2:13, Neh 12:31 the ruler Neh 3:9, Neh 3:12, Neh 3:15-18 Bethhaccerem Beth-haccerem was a town of Judah, situated on a mountain, between Jerusalem and Tekoa, according to Jerome on Jer 6:1-30. Dr. Pococke conjectures that the Mountain of the Franks, called also the Mount of Bethulia, from a village of that name near it, west-north-west of Tekoa, is the ancient Beth-haccerem; the position of which seems to agree with the citadel of Herodium, built by Herod, on a moderate-sized hill, sixty furlongs from Jerusalem. Jer 6:1 the gate Neh 2:14, Neh 12:37; 2Chr 32:30 the ruler Neh 3:9, Neh 3:12, Neh 3:14 Mizpah Neh 3:7; Judg 20:1, Judg 20:3, Mizpeh, Jer 40:6 Siloah Siloah was situated under the eastern wall of Jerusalem, between that city and the brook Kedron, and is described by Chateaubriand as lying at the foot of Mount Zion. Dr. Richardson represents the pool of Siloam as occurring higher up the valley of Jehoshaphat, towards the north, than the well of Nehemiah, a little beyond the village of Siloa, and nearly opposite the tombs of Jehoshaphat and Zechariah.
