'Gates' in the Bible
Open ye the gates, that enter may a righteous nation, Preserving stedfastness.
I -- I said in the cutting off of my days, I go in to the gates of Sheol, I have numbered the remnant of mine years.
Thus said Jehovah, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Yea, loins of kings I loose, To open before him two-leaved doors, Yea, gates are not shut:
And have made of agate thy pinnacles, And thy gates of carbuncle stones, And all thy border of stones of delight,
And opened have thy gates continually, By day and by night they are not shut, To bring unto thee the force of nations, Even their kings are led.
Violence is not heard any more in thy land, Spoiling and destruction in thy borders, And thou hast called 'Salvation' thy walls, And thy gates, 'Praise.'
Pass ye on, pass on through the gates, Prepare ye the way of the people, Raise up, raise up the highway, clear it from stones, Lift up an ensign over the peoples.
