Nehemiah 3:31 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 3:31

After him repaired Malchiah, the goldsmith's son
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 others, where the sanhedrim sat, tried causes, and exercised justice:

and to the going up of the corner;
from the east to the north.
