Talk:Huldah Gates

message: Page Solomon's Porch has something about the gates. It is a very messy page, but maybe something is useful to be transferred/copied/referenced here. Tomdo08 (talk) 02:54, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

message: I wasted my time in Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 January 14#Double Gate and Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2018 January 14#Triple Gate to get some links about the gates. But maybe they hold something interesting, so:

thread_title:  Some links 

message: Is that the only ancient mention of the name? I checked up Josephus, both Wars and Antiquities: nothing there. No more time for Pliny, and the Talmud is not my thing.
I just structured the article in a hopefully useful way, but mainly based on what was there already, which isn't the best way, that's how mistakes are being perpetuated.
Is the Mishna (Midot 1:3) talking of a SINGLE Huldah Gate, or is it using the PLURAL form?
The Mishna was brought in by an anonymous editor [Huldah Gates] in poor English, but apparently based on good knowledge of the facts, and was expanded upon by others.
We need an URL to Encyclopædia Judaica (ed. 1972), vol. 15, pp.963-4. Cheers, Arminden (talk) 12:31, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , shalom. As for your question about the Mishnah where it mentions the Huldah Gate, there in Tractate Middot 1:3, it is mentioned as "the two Huldah Gates," in the plural. This presents no difficulty, however, as both the Triple Gates and the Double Gates are, collectively, called the Huldah Gate. See the source (Rivka Gonen) in the lede paragraph. Although Josephus does not mention this gate by name, he was no doubt familiar with Huldah the prophetess, whom he mentions by name in his Antiquities 10.4.2. As for the southern-most gates of the Temple Mount, while Josephus does not make mention of the gate by name, he does mention walls that ran their course around the Temple Mount (see The Jewish War 5.4.2). He also mentions four gates on the western quarter of the Temple Mount, in Antiquities 15.11.5. The Jerusalem Talmud (Tractate Chagigah) mentions that one has not fulfilled his pilgrimage to Jerusalem until he sets foot within the Temple Mount. A popular route taken was from Siloam (where the people would immerse themselves), before going up to the Temple Mount, where the people would have entered through the Huldah Gates. You may wish to read about the "Two-thousand year Pilgrimage Road" discovered in Jerusalem, here and here.Davidbena (talk) 16:42, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

message: Another editor, , submitted a draft on the Triple Gate, Draft:Abwab Mihrab Maryam (Triple Gate). Perhaps some of the text below taken from the rejected draft page can be incorporated in this article.
Abwab Mihrab Maryam in its other name Triple Gate rests around 65.60 metres far from Bāb al-Nabī and is 11.6 meters beneath from the level of Al-Aqsa Mosque with its three doorways. (Al-Ratrout,2004:295). It has three doorways. [Burgoune, 1992, 110].
