The Fish Gate
Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west
side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at
the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a
very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.
2 Chronicles 33.14
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that there
shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the
second, and a great crashing from the hills.
Zephaniah 1:10
The origninal meaning of the Fourteenth Letter Nun is generally believed to be "fish" though it is not
used with that meaning in Scripture. The Biblical Hebrew for a
fish is דג (dag, S# H1709). This is the word used in the
two verses above, which are linked with various KeyLinks, such as ("fish gate", great) [Verify]
or ("fish gate", height/hills) [Verify] :
| KeyLink: The Fish Gate | 2 ChroniclesZephaniah |
The only other reference to the ("Fish Gate") [Verify] in all the Bible is when
it was rebuilt in the Book of Nehemiah. This is extremely significant because the KeyLink to the little
book of Zephaniah is based on the meaning of the 14th Letter.
