The corners; angular points or extremities of structures or territories
This plural form appears in Zechariah 14:10 describing the geographical extent of elevated Jerusalem in the eschatological vision. The 'corners' refer to angular points or extremities—the city's edge points that define its boundaries. In architectural contexts throughout Scripture, 'corners' mark critical structural points, places where walls meet and strength is concentrated. In territorial description, corners delimit the extent of land. Zechariah's use suggests completeness: from one corner to another encompasses the whole, all of Jerusalem transformed and elevated, from Benjamin Gate to the site of the former gate, to the Corner Gate.

Senses
1. sense 1 Refers to corners or angular points in Zechariah 14:10, defining the extent of Jerusalem in the prophet's vision of the city's future elevation. The term marks boundary points—where walls meet, where territory is delimited. By naming specific corners (from one gate to another), Zechariah encompasses the whole city, suggesting complete transformation. Corners served as reference points for describing both architectural structures and territorial extent.
