Where it appears

Zechariah · 1

  1. Zechariah 14:10 הַפִּנִּ֔ים the corners

    All the land from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem will be turned into a plain, but Jerusalem will be raised up and will remain in her place, from the Benjamin Gate to the site of the First Gate to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses.

    Here: 'The corners', so 'the Corner Gate', at the northwest angle of the city wall (2 Kgs 14:13; Jer 31:38). With the Benjamin Gate it marks the full east-to-west width of the north side.
