Gate:
(1.) Of cities, as of Jerusalem (Jer 37:13; Neh 1:3; 2:3; 3:3), of Sodom (Gen 19:1), of Gaza (Jdg 16:3).
(2.) Of royal palaces (Neh 2:8).
(3.) Of the temple of Solomon (1Ki 6:34,35; 2Ki 18:16); of the holy place (1Ki 6:31,32; Eze 41:23,24); of the outer courts of the temple, the beautiful gate (Act 3:2).
(4.) Tombs (Mat 27:60).
(5.) Prisons (Act 12:10; 16:27).
(6.) Caverns (1Ki 19:13).
(7.) Camps (Exd 32:26,27; Hbr 13:12).
The materials of which gates were made were,
(1.) Iron and brass (Psa 107:16; Isa 45:2; Act 12:10).
(2.) Stones and pearls (Isa 54:12; Rev 21:21).
(3.) Wood (Jdg 16:3) probably.
At the gates of cities courts of justice were frequently held, and hence "judges of the gate" are spoken of (Deu 16:18; 17:8; 21:19; 25:6,7, etc.). At the gates prophets also frequently delivered their messages (Pro 1:21; 8:3; Isa 29:21; Jer 17:19,20; 26:10). Criminals were punished without the gates (1Ki 21:13; Act 7:59). By the "gates of righteousness" we are probably to understand those of the temple (Psa 118:19). "The gates of hell" (R.V., "gates of Hades") Mat 16:18, are generally interpreted as meaning the power of Satan, but probably they may mean the power of death, denoting that the Church of Christ shall never die.
