3 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “gate” →
They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right .
Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
