וְכָל־הָעֵ֣מֶק הַפְּגָרִ֣ים ׀ וְהַדֶּ֡שֶׁן וְכָֽל־השרמות [הַשְּׁדֵמוֹת֩] עַד־נַ֨חַל קִדְר֜וֹן עַד־פִּנַּ֨ת שַׁ֤עַר הַסּוּסִים֙ מִזְרָ֔חָה קֹ֖דֶשׁ לַֽיהוָ֑ה לֹֽא־יִנָּתֵ֧שׁ וְֽלֹא־יֵהָרֵ֛ס ע֖וֹד לְעוֹלָֽם׃ (ס)
Toute la vallée des corps morts et des cendres, toute la campagne jusqu’au torrent de Cédron, jusqu’à l’angle de la porte aux chevaux, du côté du Levant, seront consacrées au Seigneur: plus jamais on n’y fera œuvre de destruction ni da démolition."
The Third Beit HaMikdash
To emphasize that the prophecies should be understood according to their simple meaning, Rav Yitzchak Abarbanel also cites Yirmeyahu’s prophecy concerning Jerusalem in the Ultimate Future, saying:37Yirmeyahu 31:37-39. “ ‘Behold, days are coming,’ says God, ‘when the city shall be built… from the Tower of Chananel to the Corner Gate… and the entire Valley of the Corpses… as far as the brook of Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, it shall be consecrated to God.’ ” Rav Yitzchak Abarbanel asks: The names of these places are well-known landmarks in the surroundings of Jerusalem. Can it be said that the names of these landmarks should be understood in any way other than their simple meaning?
