fold
   an enclosure for flocks to rest together isa. 13:20.
   sheep-folds are mentioned num. 32:16, 24, 36; 2 sam. 7:8; zeph.
   2:6; john 10:1, etc. it was prophesied of the cities of ammon
   ezek. 25:5, aroer isa. 17:2, and judaea, that they would be
   folds or couching-places for flocks. "among the pots," of the
   authorized version ps. 68:13, is rightly in the revised
   version, "among the sheepfolds."
