Nehemiah 3:26

unto the place over against the water gate toward the east : and as one part of their work was to fetch water for the temple, they were here very properly situated; it led to the king's garden, the valley of Jehoshaphat, and from thence a plain way to Bethany:

and the tower that lieth out ; from the wall.
