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; Joh 5:2 sanctified it: Neh 12:30; Deu 20:5; Psa 30:1 \*title Pro 3:6, Pro 3:9 the tower: Neh 12:39; Jer 31:38; Zac 14:10 Nehemiah 3:2
