Bible Question: Information on the Fish Gate |
Bible Answer: Greetings Raynay, "19. Fish Gate" "It is generally considered that the FISH GATE (which see) (Neh_3:3; Neh_12:39; Zep_1:10; 2Ch_33:14) stood across the Tyropoeon in much the same way as the modern Damascus Gate does now, only considerably farther South. It was probably so called because here the men of Tyre sold their fish (Neh_13:16). It is very probably identical with the "Middle Gate" of Jer_39:3. With this region are associated the MISHNEH (which see) or “second quarter” (Zep_1:10 margin) and the MAKTESH (which see) or “mortar” (Zep_1:11)."
