Huldah Gates
The Huldah Gates ((ヘブライ語:שערי חולדה), ''Shaarei Chulda'') are the two sets of now-blocked gates in the Southern Wall of the Temple Mount, situated in Jerusalem's Old City. The western set is a double arched gate (the Double Gate), and the eastern is a triple arched gate (the Triple Gate). Each arch of the double gate led into an aisle of a passageway leading from the gate into the Mount, and to steps leading to the Mount's surface; when the al-Aqsa Mosque was built, the old steps were blocked, and the eastern aisle lengthened so that new steps from its end would exit north of the Mosque. The triple gate is similar, though the longer aisle is to the west, and its third aisle, on the east, forms the western boundary of the vaulted area known as ''Solomon's Stables''.
==Etymology==
The name "Huldah gates" is taken from the description of the Temple Mount in the Mishnah (Tractate of Midot 1:3).〔Encyclopædia Judaica (ed. 1972), vol. 15, pp. 963-4〕 Accepted opinion amongst scholars is that the Mishna's description refers to the sanctified area of the Temple Mount in the Hasmonean period. Therefore, calling the gates found in the current southern wall "Huldah" would be an anachronism, as the base of that wall is part of Herod's post-Hasmonean extension of the Temple Mount.
Two possible etymologies are given for the name: "Huldah" means "mole" or "mouse" in Hebrew, and the tunnels leading up from these gates called to mind the holes or tunnels used by these animals. Alternatively, in a possible folk etymology, the First Temple prophetess Huldah〔2 Kgs 22:14-20〕〔Encyclopedia Judaica (ed. 1972), vol. 8, p. 1063〕 was said to have held court in this area and, indeed, her tomb〔(Tos. Neg. 6:2)Encyclopædia Judaica (ed. 1972), vol. 9, p. 1553〕 was placed here by some as well.
