    Description

    Yeshanah Gate in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    The Yeshanah Gate, also referred to as the Old Gate, was one of the gates in the wall of Jerusalem mentioned in the Book of Nehemiah. During the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls, Jehoiada, the son of Paseah, and Meshullam, the son of Besodeiah, repaired the Yeshanah Gate (Neh. 3:6). They laid its beams and hung its doors with its bolts and bars. The Yeshanah Gate is also mentioned in Nehemiah 12:39, where it is listed among the gates and landmarks along the route of the dedication procession for the rebuilt walls. The exact location of the Yeshanah Gate is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated on the northern side of Jerusalem. The name "Yeshanah" means "old" in Hebrew, suggesting that this gate may have been one of the older entrances to the city or that it led to an older part of Jerusalem. The restoration of the Yeshanah Gate, along with the other gates and walls, was a significant part of Nehemiah's efforts to strengthen and secure Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile.

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
