What Does Nehemiah 3:15 Mean?
Shallun, a ruler from Mizpah, rebuilt the fountain gate and roofed it, and extended his work to the wall beside the pool of Siloam and the stairs descending from the old city of David. This was a large and carefully finished portion.
The fountain gate and the pool speak of water, life, and refreshment for the city. The same pool of Siloam would later be where Jesus sent a blind man to wash and receive his sight. God's springs of life run through the places His people faithfully restore.
