I went out by night by the gate of the valley--that is, the Jaffa gate, near the tower of Hippicus. even before the dragon well--that is, fountain on the opposite side of the valley. and to the dung port--the gate on the east of the city, through which there ran a common sewer to the brook Kedron and the valley of Hinnom.

Then went I up . . . by the brook--that is, Kedron. and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned--the gate leading to the valley of Jehoshaphat, east of the city.
