Nehemiah 3:1

[This chapter describes four towers and eleven gates. Of these gates, six were repaired, see verses 1, 2, 6, 13-15. Nehemiah's account begins at the Sheep Gate in the northeastern part of the wall and continues counterclockwise to the west. The Sheep Gate is the gate near the Pool of Bethesda, see John 5:2. The phrase "beside them" (Hebr. v´al jado), literally "at their hand," is used 16 times in this chapter and indicates the joint effort in the rebuilding.]

Then Eliashiv, the high priest, and his brothers the priests went up and built the Sheep Gate. They consecrated it and set its doors in place. They also [built the wall] to the "Tower of the Hundred" (Hebr. migdal ha-meah) and consecrated it to Chananel's Tower ("Tower of God's Favor" – Hebr. migdal chananel). [Neh. 12:39; Jer. 31:38; Zech. 14:10]
