Commentary on Nehemiah 12:37
Theological / DevotionalFountain gate. See on ch. 2:14.
Which was. Insertion of these words, which are not in the Hebrew, makes it appear that the Fountain Gate was “over against them.” According to the Hebrew, the “stairs” were “over against them.” When the procession reached the Fountain Gate, it ascended to the City of David by way of the steps here mentioned, ascended the wall once more, and followed its course to the Water Gate (see on ch. 3:26), which overlooked the Kidron Valley. Somewhere above the Water Gate Ezra’s group met that of Nehemiah. Together they entered the Temple courts.
