The other piece -Rather, “another piece” (as inNehemiah 3:19,Nehemiah 3:21,Nehemiah 3:27,Nehemiah 3:30). It is conjectured that a verse has fallen out in which Malchijah’s and Hashub’s “first piece” was mentioned. The tower of the furnaces -Either a tower at the northwestern angle of the city; or, midway in the western wall. The origin of the name is uncertain.
