Market-place @ any place of public resort, and hence a public place or broad street Matthew:11:16Matthew:20:3), as well as a forum or market-place proper, where goods were exposed for sale, and where public assemblies and trials were held Acts:16:19Acts:17:17). This word occurs in the Old Testament only in Ezekiel:27:13. In early times markets were held at the gates of cities, where commodities were exposed for sale ( 2Kings:7:18). In large towns the sale of particular articles seems to have been confined to certain streets, as we may infer from such expressions as "the bakers' street" Jeremiah:37:21), and from the circumstance that in the time of Josephus the valley between Mounts Zion and Moriah was called the Tyropoeon or the "valley of the cheesemakers."
