What does Nehemiah 3:26 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Nehemiah 3:26
Moreover, the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel
An high tower upon the wait, in this part of it, see ( 2 Chronicles
27:3 ) , these were servants to the Levites, and repaired
here, where their dwellings were:
unto the place over against the water gate toward the
east:
and as one part of their work was to fetch water for the temple,
they were here very properly situated; it led to the king's
garden, the valley of Jehoshaphat, and from thence a plain way to
Bethany:
and the tower that lieth out;
from the wall.
