New Gate
The New Gate ((アラビア語:باب الجديد) ''Bāb ij-Jdïd'') ((ヘブライ語:השער החדש) ''HaSha'ar HeChadash'')〔Borg, Alexander, Some observations on the יום הששי syndrome in the Hebrew of the Dead Sea Scrolls, in T. Muraoka, John F. Elwolde, eds., Diggers at the well: proceedings of a third International Symposium on the Hebrew of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Ben Sira, BRILL, 2000, p.29〕 is the newest gate in the walls that surround the Old City of Jerusalem. It was built in 1889 to provide direct access between the Christian Quarter and the new neighborhoods then going up outside the walls.〔Goldhill, Simon, ''Jerusalem: city of longing'', Harvard University Press, 2008, p.149〕 The arched gate is decorated with crenelated stonework. The New Gate was built at the highest point of the present wall, at above sea level.
==Etymology==
The ''New Gate'' was the name used by the Ottoman administration. It was also known as ''Bab es Sultan Abd ul Hamid'' by the Arab workforce for the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II who allowed the building.〔Sir Harry Luke, ''A guide to Jerusalem and Judea'', Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co., ltd. T. Cook & Son ltd., London, 1924, p.72〕 It should not be confused with the ''New Gate'' of the Second Temple complex mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah (26:10; 36:10)〔A. Graeme Auld, Margarete Laura Steiner, ''Jerusalem I: from the Bronze Age to the Maccabees'', The Lutterworth Press, Cambridge, 1996, p.18〕 that served as entrance to the Great Sanhedrin's Hall of Hewn Stones,〔Conder, C. R., Colonel, ''The City of Jerusalem'', John Murray, London, 1909, p.59〕 and was previously called the Benjamin Gate.〔Lewis Bayles Paton, ''Jerusalem in Bible times'', Ayer Publishing, 1977, p.81〕
