Or the son of Tzoreph, as some, so called from his business:
unto the place of the Nethinims, and of the
merchants;
he repaired up to the place where these dwelt:
over against the gate Miphkad;
where some think was an house of visitation or correction; and

justice:
and to the going up of the corner;
