Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 16. - Sheep-folds. גִּדְרֹת צֹאן. These were rude enclosures built of loose stones piled on one another, into which the flocks were driven at night for safety.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) We will build sheepfolds . . . --The sheepfolds were commonly constructed of loose stones piled up on one another.And cities for our little ones.--The word which is rendered "build" often means to "build up" or "repair," and it probably has that meaning in this place, as applied to the cities. (See Numbers 32:26.)
