Just a note on a curiousity: >from Essenes, including those in Jerusalem inside the Gate of the Essenes.
Jerusalem gates name where they lead to, OUTSIDE the city: shaar shxem leads to Shxem, shaar Yafo leads to Yaffo, shaar of the Essenes presumably leads to an Essene settlement, village, outside the SW of the city.
