gate (entrance to a city, temple, or compound)
Senses
1. gate (entrance to a city, temple, or compound) — A large door or entrance, especially the gate of a city or the temple complex. Used for the Beautiful Gate of the temple (Acts 3:10), the gate of a city (Luke 7:12, Acts 9:24), the gates that will not prevail against the church (Matt 16:18), and the narrow gate of the kingdom (Matt 7:13-14). All translations render the same concept across number: Spanish 'puerta/puertas' (door-gate/gates), Arabic 'bāb/abwāb' (gate/gates), Korean '문/문들' (gate/gates), Swahili 'lango-mlango/milango' (gate/gates), Hindi 'फाटक/फाटकों' (gate/gates). The two clusters differ only in grammatical number (singular case forms vs plural) with no semantic divergence. 10×
