The meaning of Sheep-fold in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)a strong fenced enclosure for the protection of the sheep gathered within it (Numbers 32:24; I Chronicles 17:7; Psalms 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 Matthew 26:31; Luke 2:8; I Corinthians 9:7.) (SeeFOLD .)
