In Jewish tradition

It means a doorway or gateway, such as that of a city or the Temple. In Ezekiel it is the entrance of the gates of the future Temple.

Interpretation. Ezekiel's vision of the Temple has exact measures for its gates and rooms. Tradition reads this as a picture of a future holy place. The city gate was where judges sat and wisdom called out.
