These folds are simple walled enclosures (Num 32:16; Jdg 5:16; 2Ch 32:28; Psa 78:70; Zep 2:6; Joh 10:1). On the top of the wall is heaped thorny brushwood as a further safeguard. Sometimes there is a covered hut in the corner for the shepherd. Where there is no danger the sheep huddle together in the open until daylight, while the shepherd watches over them (Gen 31:39; Luk 2:8). In the winter time caves are sought after (1Sa 24:3; Zep 2:6). The antiquity of the use of some of the caves for this purpose is indicated by the thick deposit of potassium nitrate formed from the decomposition of the sheep dung.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: International Standard Bible Encyclopedia<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sheepcote, Sheepfold shepkot, shepkot, shepfold (, gedherah, , mikhlah, , mishpethayim, , naweh; , aule): At night the sheep are driven into a sheepfold if they are in a district where there is danger from robbers or wild beasts.
