The 'port' of Ne 2:13 is a 'gate,' the same Heb. word being translated' gate' in the same verse. Cf. Prayer Book version of Ps 9:14 'Within the ports of the daughter of Sion.'
I went out by night by the Valley Gate to the Dragon Spring and to the Dung Gate, and I inspected the walls of Jerusalem that were broken down and its gates that had been destroyed by fire.
that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation.
