Sheep Gate <08179 06629> [the sheep gate.]
Thus the whole city was surrounded with a wall; for Eliashib began at the sheep gate.
goldsmiths <06884> [the goldsmiths.]
The word {tzeraphim} may denote smiths, or refiners, or persons that worked in metals of any kind; but it is generally understood of those who worked in gold. From the remotest period of the history of the Jews, they had artists in all the elegant and ornamental trades; and it appears that goldsmiths, apothecaries, and merchants were formed into companies in the time of Nehemiah.
