Sheep Gate
(sha`ar, "gate"; hasso'n, "flock," i.e., "gate of the flock"; NASB and NIV
"sheep gate" is KJV "sheep market").
One of the gates of
Jerusalem rebuilt by Nehemiah (Neh 3:1,32; 12:39). It was located between the Tower of
the Hundred ("Tower of Meah," KJV) and the upper room of the corner (3:1,32),
or Gate of the Guard (12:39). It is probably the "sheep gate" mentioned in (John
5:2).
