SHEEP - S>@ - Sheep were an important part of the possessions of the ancient Hebrews and of eastern nations generally. The first mention of sheep occurs in kjv@Genesis:4:2) They were used in the sacrificial offering,as, both the adult animal, kjv@Exodus:20:24) and the lamb.
See kjv@Exodus:29:28; kjv@Leviticus:9:3 kjv@Leviticus:12:6) Sheep and lambs formed an important article of food. ( kjv@1Samuel:25:18) The wool was used as clothing. kjv@Leviticus:13:47) "Rams skins dyed red" were used as a covering for the tabernacle. kjv@Exodus:25:5) Sheep and lambs were sometimes paid as tribute. ( kjv@2Kings:3:4) It is very striking to notice the immense numbers of sheep that were reared in Palestine in biblical times. (Chardin says he saw a clan of Turcoman shepherds whose flock consisted of 3,000,000 sheep and goats, besides 400,000 Feasts of carriage, as horses, asses and camels.) Sheep-sheering is alluded to kjv@Genesis:31:19) Sheepdogs were employed in biblical times. kjv@Job:30:1) Shepherds in Palestine and the East generally go before their flocks, which they induce to follow by calling to them, comp. kjv@John:10:4; kjv@Psalms:77:20 kjv@Psalms:80:1) though they also drive them. kjv@Genesis:33:13) The following quotation from Hartley’s "Researches in Greece and the Levant," p. 321, is strikingly illustrative of the allusions in kjv@John:10:1-16) "Having had my attention directed last night to the words in kjv@John:10:3) I asked my man if it was usual in Greece to give names to the sheep. He informed me that it was, and that the sheep obeyed the shepherd when he called them by their names. This morning I had an opportunity of verifying the truth of this remark. Passing by a flock of sheep I asked the shepherd the same question which I had put to the servant, and he gave me the same answer. I then had him call one of his sheep. He did so, and it instantly left its pasturage and its companions and ran up to the hands of the shepherd with signs of pleasure and with a prompt obedience which I had never before observed in any other animal. It is also true in this country that a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him. The shepherd told me that many of his sheep were still wild, that they had not yet learned their names, but that by teaching them they would all learn them." The common sheer, of Syria and Palestine are the broad-tailed. As the sheep is an emblem of meekness, patience and submission, it is expressly mentioned as typifying these qualities in the person of our blessed Lord. kjv@Isaiah:53:7; kjv@Acts:8:32) etc. The relation that exists between Christ, "the chief Shepherd," and his members is beautifully compared to that which in the East is so strikingly exhibited by the shepherds to their flocks SHEPHERD

SHEEPGATE, THE - S>@ - one of the gates of Jerusalem as rebuilt by Nehemiah. kjv@Nehemiah:3:1-32 kjv@Nehemiah:12:39) It stood between the tower of Meah and the chamber of the corner, ch. kjv@Nehemiah:3:1-32) or gate of the guard-house, ch. kjv@Nehemiah:12:39) Authorized Version, "prison-gate." The latter seems to have been at the angle formed by the junction of the wall of the city of David with that of the city of Jerusalem proper, having the sheep-gate on the north of it. The position of the sheep-gate may therefore have been on or near that of the Bab el Kattanin.

SHEEPMARKET, THE - S>@ - kjv@John:5:2) The world "market" is an interpolation of our translators. We ought probably to supply the word "gate."

easton:

Sheep @ are of different varieties. Probably the flocks of Abraham and Isaac were of the wild species found still in the mountain regions of Persia and Kurdistan. After the Exodus, and as a result of intercourse with surrounding nations, other species were no doubt introduced into the herds of the people of Israel. They are frequently mentioned in Scripture. The care of a shepherd over his flock is referred to as illustrating God's care over his people kjv@Psalms:23:1-2 kjv@Psalms:74:1 kjv@Psalms:77:20 ; kjv@Isaiah:40:11 kjv@Isaiah:53:6; kjv@John:10:1-5, 7-16). "The sheep of Palestine are longer in the head than ours, and have tails from 5 inches broad at the narrowest part to 15 inches at the widest, the weight being in proportion, and ranging generally from 10 to 14 lbs., but sometimes extending to 30 lbs. The tails are indeed huge masses of fat" (Geikie's Holy Land, etc.). The tail was no doubt the "rump" so frequently referred to in the Levitical sacrifices kjv@Exodus:29:22; kjv@Leviticus:3:9 kjv@Leviticus:7:3 kjv@Leviticus:9:19 ). Sheep-shearing was generally an occasion of great festivity kjv@Genesis:31:19 kjv@Genesis:38:12-13; kjv@1Samuel:25:4-8, 36; kjv@2Samuel:13:23-28).

Sheep-fold @ a strong fenced enclosure for the protection of the sheep gathered within it kjv@Numbers:32:24; kjv@1Chronicles:17:7; kjv@Psalms:50:9 kjv@Psalms:78:70). In kjv@John:10:16 the Authorized Version renders by "fold" two distinct Greek words, aule and poimne, the latter of which properly means a "flock," and is so rendered in the Revised Version. (
See also kjv@Matthew:26:31; kjv@Luke:2:8; kjv@1Corinthians:9:7.) (
See FOLD

Sheep-gate @ one of the gates of Jerusalem mentioned by Nehemiah (3:1-32; 12:39). It was in the eastern wall of the city.

Sheep-market @ occurs only in kjv@John:5:2 (marg., also R.V., "sheep-gate"). The word so rendered is an adjective, and it is uncertain whether the noun to be supplied should be "gate" or, following the Vulgate Version, "pool."
