| 释义 |
Hezekiah's Pool ({{lang-he-n|בריכת חזקיהו}}, Brikhat Hizkiyahu), located in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, was once a reservoir forming part of the city's ancient water system. Flavius Josephus referred to the pool as Amygdalon, meaning 'almond tree' in Greek, but it is very likely that he derived the name phonetically from the Hebrew word {{Hebrew|מגדל}} migdal, meaning 'tower', thus it is believed that the original name was Pool of the Tower or Towers.{{cn|date=February 2019}} The pool is also known as the Pool of Pillars, or the Pool of the Patriarch's Bath (Arabic: {{lang|ar|بركة حمّام البطرك}} Birkat Hammam el-Batrak). The pool is believed to be the upper pool referred to in {{bibleverse|2|Kings|18:17|HE}}, built by King Hezekiah {{nowrap|(f. 700 BC)}},[1] who met messengers from the king of Assyria there. At a later time it was fed from the Mamilla Pool, one of the three reservoirs constructed by Herod the Great during the first century BCE[2] by an underground conduit which still partially exists.[3] The pool is {{convert|240|ft}} by {{convert|140|ft}} in size, with an estimated capacity of nearly {{convert|3000000|gal}}. The bottom of the pool is cemented and leveled natural rock.[3] {{asof|2010}} the pool is dry and surrounded by buildings on all sides.{{cn|date=February 2019}} References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Warren|first1=E.K.|last2=Hartshorn|first2=W.N.|last3=McCrillis|first3=A.B.|title=Glimpses of Bible Lands: The Cruise of the Eight Hundred to Jerusalem|year=1905|publisher=The Central Committee|location=Boston, MA|page=176}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.02net.co.il/Site/Templates/inPage.asp?catID=5&subID=453&docID=13100 |title=The Total Experience from Dismantling and Rebuilding Teaches that This is a Highly Dubious Way of Preservation |author=Schwiki, Itzik |publisher=02net |date=February 8, 2005 |accessdate=2007-07-20 |language=he |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050326005705/http://www.02net.co.il/Site/Templates/inPage.asp?catID=5&subID=453&docID=13100 |archivedate=March 26, 2005 |df= }} 3. ^1 The Land of Israel; A Text-Book on the Physical and Historical Geography of the Holy Land Embodying the Results of Recent Research, Robert Laird Stewart, 2008.
