Bible Question: Where can I get information on the purpose of the twelve gates of Jerusalem |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, chiprice, THE TWELVE GATES OF JERUSALEM (Nehemiah, chapters 3 and 12). In Nehemiah 3. the first sixteen verses refer to Jerusalem, and the latter sixteen verses to Zion (or the city of David), south of Moriah. A study of these, and a comparison with chapter 12, will explain most of the difficulties connected with the topography of the city. 1. The Valley Gate (2:13; 3:13). Cp. 2Chron. 26:9. 2. The Gate of the Fountain (2:14; 3:15; 12:37), on Ophel at the Gihon spring (that mentioned in 2Kings 25:4. Jer. 39:4). 3. The Sheep Gate (3:1; 12:39). North of the Temple. 4. The Fish Gate (3:3; 12:39). Cp. 2Chron. 33:14. Zeph. 1:10. 5. The Old Gate (3:6; 12:39). Cp. 2Chron. 33:14, and 2Kings 22:14, "college". Called also the "First Gate" (Zech. 14:10). 6. The Dung Gate (2:14; 3:14; 12:31). Probably same as Harsith Gate (Jer. 19:2); sometimes rendered the Gate of Potsherds, from heres, a potter's vessel. Leading to Hinnom. N.B. Better is Pottery Gate. 7. The Water Gate (3:25, 26). 8. The Horse Gate (3:28). Cp. 2Kings 11:16. 2Chron. 23:15. Jer. 31:40. South-east of the Temple, and close to the city and house of David. 9. The East Gate (3:29). East of the Temple, and connected with it. 10. The Gate of Miphkad (3:31). Probably north-east of Temple. (The Registry Gate.) 11. The Gate of Ephraim (8:16; 12:39). Cp. 2Chron. 25:23. 12. The Prison Gate (12:39), or Gate of the Guard (2Kings 11:6, 19).
