Sheep Market

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

Should read “sheep-gate” as above

(John 5:2²Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. (John 5:2)).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

This occurs only in John 5:2²Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. (John 5:2), and the word market has been added. It was probably at the sheep gate (as in the margin) mentioned in the Old Testament, but which cannot now be identified.
