ובין עלית הפנה לשער הצאן. תחלת הבנין התחילו לבנות שער הצאן שנאמר ויבנו את שער הצאן וגו' כך היו בונין החומה מסביב בזה אחר זה:
And between the ascent to the tower and the Sheep Gate At the beginning of the building they began to build the Sheep Gate, as it says (verse 1): “...and they built the Sheep Gate, etc.” So did they build the wall all around, one after the other.
