A breach reaching from it to the "gate of the corner" (2Ki 14:13; 2Ch 26:9) Jeremiah foretells (Jer 31:38) shall be "rebuilt to Jehovah," and "not thrown down any more for ever." Connected with "the corner gate" (which was on the other side of the sheep gate), also in Zec 14:10, where Ewald translated "on to the corner gate and tower of Hananeel on to the king's wine presses."
