Nehemiah 3
1. The names and order of those who built the wall














(28) From above the horse gate.--This gate was between the Temple and the palace, and the space from the wall of Ophel seems not to have needed repair.

Verse 28. - From above the horse gate. This was a gate in the eastern wall (Jeremiah 31:40) through which horses could enter the city. It probably adjoined the old palace, being at or near the "turning of the wall" mentioned in vers. 24, 25. Nehemiah seems here to return to the point quitted in ver. 26, and to proceed thence northwards in order to complete the entire circuit.
