The sons of Hassenaah.--Contrary to custom, their names are not mentioned. The locks thereof, and the bars thereof.--The crossbars thereof, and the catches thereof, the latter holding the former at the two ends. Similarly in several other verses. Verse 3. - It is strange that the sons of Hassenaah, who built the fourth piece of wall, are not mentioned by name. There is no other similar omission. The fish gate, which they built, was in the northern wall, towards its eastern extremity, and not far from the modern "Damascus gate." It is thought to be so called from being the gate through which fish were brought in from the Jordan and the Sea of Galilee. The locks thereof should rather be "the bars thereof"; and the bars, "the sockets," or "catches," which held the bars. The gates of towns in ancient times were almost always secured in this way.Parallel Commentaries ...
