Easton's Bible Dictionary
An enclosure for flocks to rest together (
Isaiah 13:20). Sheep-folds are mentioned
Numbers 32:16, 24, 36;
2 Samuel 7:8;
Zephaniah 2:6;
John 10:1, etc. It was prophesied of the cities of Ammon (
Ezek. 25:5), Aroer (
Isaiah 17:2), and Judaea, that they would be folds or couching-places for flocks. "Among the pots," of the Authorized Version (
Psalm 68:13), is rightly in the Revised Version, "among the sheepfolds."

FOLD; FOLDINGfold fold'-ing (verb; chabhaq, sabhakh; helisso):
The verb occurs only 3 times in the King James Version, and in each instance represents a different word; we have chabhaq "to clasp" (Ecclesiastes 4:5), "The fool foldeth his hands together" (compare Proverbs 6:10); cabhak, "to interweave" (Nahum 1:10, "folded together as thorns," the English Revised Version "like tangled thorns" the American Standard Revised Version "entangled like thorns"; see ENTANGLE); helisso "to roll or fold up" (Hebrews 1:12, quoted from Psalm 102:26 (Septuagint), the Revised Version (British and American) "As a mantle shalt thou roll them up"). Folding occurs as translation of galil, "turning" or "rolling" (1 Kings 6:34 bis, folding leaves of door).
