'City Gate' in the Bible

to Abraham as his possession in the presence of the Hittites, before all who were entering at the gate of his city.

As they were leaving, they all blessed Rebekah by saying, "Our sister, may you become the mother of tens of millions! May your descendants take over the city gates of those who hate them."

All of the males who heard Hamor and his son Shechem, who had gone out to the city gate, were circumcised.
