Where is Potsherd_Gate in the Bible?
The Potsherd Gate was located in Jerusalem near the Valley of Ben Hinnom, a significant geographical feature on the southern edge of the city. This gate is mentioned in the book of Jeremiah, where the prophet was instructed by God to go to this location and proclaim a message of judgment against the people of Judah. At the Potsherd Gate, Jeremiah was told to break a clay jar as a symbolic act representing the coming destruction of Jerusalem and Judah due to their idolatry and unfaithfulness. The gate's name, derived from broken pottery shards, and its proximity to the Valley of Ben Hinnom (later associated with judgment and condemnation) made it a fitting location for this prophetic act of warning and divine judgment.
