Sheep-Fold:
a strong fenced enclosure for the protection of the sheep gathered within it (Num 32:24; 1Ch 17:7; Psa 50:9; 78:70). In Jhn 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 Mat 26:31; Luk 2:8; 1Cr 9:7.) (See FOLD.)
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
