Sheepfold \Sheep"fold`\, n. A fold or pen for sheep; a place where sheep are collected or confined. | |
| From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: | |
|
Sheep-fold a strong fenced enclosure for the protection of the sheep gathered within it (Num. 32:24; 1 Chr. 17:7; Ps. 50:9; 78:70). In John 10:16 the Authorized Version renders by "fold" two distinct Greek words, aule and poimne, the latter of which properly means a "flock," and is so rendered in the Revised Version. (See also Matt. 26:31; Luke 2:8; 1 Cor. 9:7.) (See {FOLD}.) | |
