Easton
an enclosure for flocks to rest together (Isa 13:20). Sheep-folds are mentioned Nu 32:16,24,36; 2Sa 7:8; Zep 2:6; Joh 10:1, etc. It was prophesied of the cities of Ammon (Eze 25:5), Aroer (Isa 17:2), and Judaea, that they would be folds or couching-places for flocks. "Among the pots," of the Authorized Version (Ps 68:13), is rightly in the Revised Version, "among the sheepfolds."

Morish
The divinely appointed system of Jewish ordinances which formed the enclosure into which the Lord entered by the door, in order to find His own sheep and lead them out. Gentile believers were added to them, and they became one flock (not 'one fold') with one Shepherd, the Lord Himself. Joh 10:1,3,16. There is no longer a fold on earth for those that are Christ's. They are formed into the church, namely, the one flock.
