'Gates' in the Bible

and her gates lament and mourn. Ravaged, she will sit on the ground."

"Raise a banner on a bare hilltop! Cry out loud to them! Give a wave of the hand, signaling for them to enter the gates of the nobles.

And it will come about that your choicest valleys will be filled with chariots, and horsemen will take their positions at the gates.

Desolation remains in the city whose gates lie battered into ruins.

Open your gates, so the righteous nation that safeguards its faith may enter.

This is what the LORD says to his anointed, Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him, as I strip kings of their armor, to open doors before him and gates that cannot keep closed:

And I'll make your battlements of rubies, and your gates of jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.

Your gates will always stand open by day or night, and they will not be shut, so that nations will bring you their wealth, with their kings led in procession.

Then violence will no longer be heard in your land, nor devastation or destruction within your borders; but you'll call your walls "Salvation', and your gates "Praise'.

"Pass through the gates! prepare the way for the people! Build up! Build up the highway! Clear it of stumbling stones, speak among the nations.
