Miphkad

VIEW:26 DATA:01-04-2020
MIPHKAD.—A gate somewhere near the northern end of the East wall of Jerusalem, as may be deduced from the one reference to it (Neh_3:31 AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘the gate Miphkad,’ RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘the gate of Hammiphkad’) describing its restoration after the Exile. Many attempts have been made to identify it more exactly; but as the course of this part of Nehemiah’s wall has not been revealed by excavation, and consequently the positions of its gates are not known with certainty, such attempts are mere guesswork. See the note on the gates in art. Jerusalem, II, § 4.
R. A. S. Macalister.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


A gate of Jerusalem (Neh_3:31), in the wall of Zion, the city of David. (See JERUSALEM.) It means "judgment", but is translated "number" 1Ch_21:5; 2Sa_24:9.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


Miph'kad. (appointed place). The gate Miphkad. One of the gates of Jerusalem. Neh_3:31. It was probably not in the wall of Jerusalem proper, but in that of the city of David, or Zion, and somewhere near to the junction, of the two on the north side.

Miphkad
(Heb. Miphckad', מַפְקָד, review or census of the people, as in 2Sa_24:9, etc.; or mandate, as in 2Ch_31:13; Sept. Μαφεκάδ,Vulg. judicialis), the name of a gate of Jerusalem, situated opposite the residence of the Nethinim and the bazaars, between the Horse-gate and the angle of the old wall near the Sheep-gate (Neh_3:31); probably identical with the Prison-gate (Neh_12:39), under the middle of the bridge spanning the Tyropneon (see Strong's Harm. and Expos. of the Gosp. Append. 2, page 15). Barclay (City of the Great King, page 156) identifies it with the High. gate of Benjamin (Jer_20:2), and locates it at the west end of the bridge; but that gate was probably situated elsewhere. “The name may refer to some memorable census of the people, as, for instance, that of David (2Sa_24:9, and 1Ch_21:5, in each of which the word used for ‘number' is miphcad), or to the superintendents of some portion of the worship (Pekidim, see 2Ch_31:13).” SEE JERUSALEM.
