Charles Ellicott Commentary Nehemiah 12:39

"and above the gate of Ephraim, and by the old gate, and by the fish gate, and the tower of Hananel, and the tower of Hammeah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the gate of the guard." — Nehemiah 12:39 (ASV)

The gate of Ephraim. —Not mentioned in the process of repairing, because it had remained comparatively intact with part of the “broad wall.”
