the sheep gate:
Thus the whole city was surrounded with a wall; for Eliashib began at the sheep gate. "Then Eliashibª the highª priestª rose upª ° with his brethrenª the priests,ª and they buildedª °¹ the sheepª gate;ª they¹ sanctifiedª ° it, and set upª ° the doorsª of it; even unto¹ the towerª of Meahª they sanctifiedª ° it, unto¹ the towerª of Hananeel.ª" {Neh 3:1} + "And from above¹ ¹ the gateª of Ephraim,ª and above¹ the oldª gate,ª and above¹ the fishª gate,ª and the towerª of Hananeel,ª and the towerª of Meah,ª even unto¹ the sheepª gate:ª and they stood stillª ° in the prisonª gate.ª" {Neh 12:39} + "Nowª there isª ° atª Jerusalemª byª the¹ sheepª [market] a pool,ª which² is calledª ° in the Hebrew tongueª Bethesda,ª havingª ° fiveª porches.ª" {Jhn 5:2}

the goldsmiths:
The word tzeraphim may denote smiths, or refiners, or persons that worked in metals of any kind; but it is generally understood of those who worked in gold. From the remotest period of the history of the Jews, they had artists in all the elegant and ornamental trades; and it appears that goldsmiths, apothecaries, and merchants were formed into companies in the time of Nehemiah. "Next¹ unto¹ him² repairedª ° Uzzielª the sonª of Harhaiah,ª of the goldsmiths.ª ° Next¹ unto¹ him² also repairedª ° Hananiahª the sonª of [one of] the apothecaries,ª and they fortifiedª ° Jerusalemª unto¹ the broadª wall.ª" {Neh 3:8} + "Afterª him repairedª ° Malchiahª the goldsmith'sª sonª unto¹ the placeª of the Nethinims,ª and of the merchants,ª ° over against¹ the gateª Miphkad,ª and to¹ the going upª of the corner.ª" {Neh 3:31}
