George Leo Haydock, on Neh 3:26

“And the Nathinites dwelt in Ophel, as far as over against the water gate toward the east, and the tower that stood out.”

“Ophel. A very strong tower. See 2 Paralipomenon xxvii. 3., and xxxiii. 14. — East of the great court of the temple, from which it was not remote, as Esdras here harangued the people, chap. xii. 36., and 3 Esdras viii. 1. Out of the gate was a pond of water, (Calmet) for the service of the temple. (Menochius)”
