Market, or Market Place. In the Old Testament this word occurs only once. Ezekiel 27:13, A. V.; in the New Testament oftener, Matthew 23:7; Mark 12:38; Luke 11:43; Luke 20:46; Acts 16:19, etc., and we learn from Matthew 20:3 that not only were all kinds of produce offered for sale here, but hither resorted also the laborers to find employment. It was frequented by business men and by crowds of idlers and loungers. In a strictly Oriental city, such as Jerusalem, the market had not, like the forum, this character of being the centre of all public life. Still it was always a lively place, generally situated just within the gate, and the principal scene of trade and traffic.
