What Does Nehemiah 3:1 Mean At the Sheep Gate“ ‘At the Sheep Gate …’ ” (Nehemiah 3:1) • This northern gate was closest to the temple area, the point where sacrificial animals entered. John 5:2 still calls it “the Sheep Gate” in Jesus’ day, underscoring continuity and authenticity. • The location links sacrifice and worship: Exodus 12:3 introduces the Passover lamb here; John 1:29 later identifies Jesus as “the Lamb of God,” showing how every detail God records points to redemption. • Starting the project at this gate puts worship first, echoing Matthew 6:33—seek God’s kingdom before anything else. Eliashib the high priest and his fellow priests began rebuilding • Spiritual leaders did not delegate all the hard labor; they picked up trowels themselves (cf. 1 Peter 5:2–3, Acts 20:35). • Their involvement models servant leadership and signals that this work is holy, not merely civic (Ezra 7:27). • Nehemiah 12:10,22 names Eliashib in the legitimate priestly line, reaffirming that Scripture’s historical records are precise. They dedicated it and installed its doors • Before the first brick was laid, the priests “dedicated” (set apart) the gate. 1 Kings 8:63 and 2 Chron 7:5 show Solomon doing the same with the temple; holiness begins at the foundation. • Fitting doors gives security (Nehemiah 6:1) and marks completion. Revelation 21:25 pictures eternal gates that never shut because ultimate security rests in the Lord. After building as far as the Tower of the Hundred and the Tower of Hananel • These landmarks, also named in Jeremiah 31:38 and Zechariah 14:10, confirm the wall’s exact route and fulfill prophetic geography, demonstrating God’s faithfulness to the letter. • Progress is measured: everyone sees how far the work has advanced (Philippians 1:6—He who began a good work will finish it). • “The Hundred” may recall the idea of accountability; Luke 15:4–6 shows the Shepherd counting every sheep. The “Hananel” (meaning “God is gracious”) underlines the grace that surrounds the city (Psalm 46:5). They dedicated the wall • A second dedication bookends the section, stressing that every stage—start, middle, finish—belongs to God (Colossians 3:17). • Ezra 6:16 records a similar dedication of the rebuilt temple; Psalm 30’s title celebrates such moments. • The repeated act invites continual gratitude, not a one-time ceremony (1 Thessalonians 5:18). summary Nehemiah 3:1 shows worship shaping work. The priests launch the reconstruction at the Sheep Gate, setting apart each step to God, installing doors for protection, stretching the wall to prophetic towers, and closing with another dedication. Leadership serves, prophecy is honored, and every stone testifies that the Lord’s people—and their city—belong wholly to Him. (1) Then Eliashib.--The account begins with due honour to the high priest and the priesthood.The sheep gate was in the neighbourhood of the priests' quarter. Through it the victims passed for sacrifice, first being washed in the neighbouring pool of Bethesda.

Their work and the sanctification of it extended to two towns near each other at the north-east corner. Verse 1. - Then Eliashib the high priest rose up. It is satisfactory to find Eliashib the high priest taking the part which befitted him on this occasion. Subsequently we find him "allied by marriage to Tobiah (Nehemiah 13:4), and guilty of a profanation of the temple (ibid. ver. 5). By the line of high priests given in Nehemiah 12:10, 11, it appears that Eliashib was the son of Joiakim, and the grandson of the Jeshua who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:2; Ezra 3:2). With his brethren. The priests generally. Compare ver. 28, which shows that the priests undertook a portion of the eastern wall, besides the work here mentioned. Builded the sheep gate. The "sheep gate" appears to have been a gate in the eastern wall, the προβατική of St. John (John %;2), which was close to the pool of Bethesda. By this gate were brought in the sheep needed for sacrifice, which were then washed in the adjoining pool, and conveyed from it into the temple area, whereon the pool abuts. The priests dwelt principally in this portion of the city. They sanctified it. This appears to have been a dedication quite distinct from that which is described in Nehemiah 12:27-43. The priests, having completed the rebuilding of the sheep gate, and of the wall extending from it northwards as far as the tower of Hananeel, anticipated the general dedication by a special one, which "sanctified," or consecrated, their own portion of the wall Thus a sacred character was impressed on the work at the earliest possible moment, and it was placed under the protection of the Almighty. The tower of Meah (or rather Hammeah, i.e. "the Hundred") and the tower of Hananeel appear to have been situated almost at the same point of the wall. Perhaps they were opposite each other, like the towers in the walls of Babylon (Herod., 1:179).Parallel Commentaries ...
