It is an objection that from the mention of ‘the court of the guard’ (Neh 3:25<\/span>) we should infer that it lay on the south side of the Temple; and if so (which is very unlikely), that the procession led by Nehemiah would have marched past the halting-place of the other company.<\/p>\n It is noticeable that the concluding clause is not found in the best text of the LXX. It may possibly represent a later insertion on the part of a scribe who wished to assign a halting-place to this company.<\/p>\n Waiting, as also their brethren did, that they might go together in due order into Gods house, there to perfect the solemnity. <\/P> <\/p>\n And from above the gate of Ephraim<\/strong>,….

The position of the prison gate <\/em> is uncertain, but was probably near the southwestern corner of the temple area, and not far from the water gate, where the other procession halted. See on Neh 12:37<\/span>.<\/p>\n Neh 12:39 And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.<\/p>\n Ver. 39. And from above the gate of Ephraim<\/strong> ] Much mention is here made of the several gates and towers; because God was much seen in helping them so soon to build such; and, by the sight of them, they were much excited to praise the Lord.<\/p>\n the gate of Ephraim: Neh 8:16, 2Ki 14:13 <\/p>\n the old: Neh 3:6 <\/p>\n the fish gate: Neh 3:3, Zep 1:10 <\/p>\n the tower: Neh 3:1, Jer 31:38 <\/p>\n the sheep: Neh 3:32, Joh 5:2 <\/p>\n the prison: Neh 3:25, Neh 3:31,*Heb: Jer 32:2 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 2Ch 25:23 – gate of Ephraim 2Ch 33:14 – fish gate Zec 14:10 – from Benjamin’s<\/p>\n Neh 12:39-40. They stood still in the prison-gate Waiting, as also their brethren did, that they might go together in due order into Gods house, there to perfect the solemnity. So stood the two companies, &c. That is, they met together at the temple, and gave thanks in the courts of it. And I and the half of the rulers with me And Ezra and the other half with him, as appears by comparing this with Neh 12:35-36. The order wherein they marched in this pompous manner round about the city seems a little obscure; but the sense of the whole description is this: that they being met together in the same place, half of the rulers went upon the wall on the right hand, accompanied with several priests and Levites, and Ezra the scribe at the head of them, Neh 12:36; and the other half took the left hand, and walked upon the wall in the same order, accompanied with Nehemiah, who brought up the rear of them, Neh 12:38. And, at length, both parts of this chorus met in the temple, and there they stood still and completed their praises and thanksgivings, and offered sacrifices, as mentioned Neh 12:43.<\/p>\n And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate. 39. from above ] R.V. above. the gate of Ephraim ] This gate is not … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Nehemiah 12:39”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12675","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12675\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
