Sheep-fold
a strong fenced enclosure for the protection of the sheep
gathered within it (Num. 32:24; 1 Chr. 17:7; Ps 50:9; 78:70).
In John 10:16 the Authorized Version renders by fold" two
distinct Greek words aule and poimne the latter of which
properly means a "flock," and is so rendered in the Revised
Version. (See also Matt. 26:31; Luke 2:8; 1 Cor. 9:7.) (See {FOLD}.)
