Comments: Jaffa Gate in the Jerusalem Wall. Hebron Gate is one of the eight gates of Jerusalem in the Old City Wall. In the Crusader period it was also called 39 David's Gate39 after the citadel called Migdal David which is adjacent to it. The gate is fixed in the middle of the western wall of the Old City of Jerusalem and is named after the ancient road that leads west from it to the city of Jaffa and the port of Jaffa, which was the main port of the Land of Israel until the British Mandate period. The name of the gate in Arabic refers to the ancient Hebron road that leaves the Jaffa Gate and leads to the cities of Bethlehem and Hebron. These two ancient roads are still today main transportation arteries

From Easton: Gate (1.) Of cities, as of Jerusalem (Jeremiah 37:13; Nehemiah 1:3; Nehemiah 2:3; Nehemiah 3:3), of Sodom (Genesis 19:1), of Gaza (Judges 16:3).
(2.) Of royal palaces (Nehemiah 2:8).
(3.) Of the temple of Solomon (1 Kings 6:34, 1 Kings 6:35; 2 Kings 18:16); of the holy place (1 Kings 6:31, 1 Kings 6:32; Ezekiel 41:23, Ezekiel 41:24); of the outer courts of the temple, the beautiful gate (Acts 3:2).
(4.) Tombs (Matthew 27:60).
(5.) Prisons (Acts 12:10; Acts 16:27).
(6.) Caverns (1 Kings 19:13).
(7.) Camps (Exodus 32:26, Exodus 32:27; Hebrews 13:12).
The materials of which gates were made were,
(1.) Iron and brass (Psalms 107:16; Isaiah 45:2; Acts 12:10).
(2.) Stones and pearls (Isaiah 54:12; Revelation 21:21).
(3.) Wood (Judges 16:3) probably.
At the gates of cities courts of justice were frequently held, and hence "judges of the gate" are spoken of (Deuteronomy 16:18; Deuteronomy 17:8; Deuteronomy 21:19; Deuteronomy 25:6, Deuteronomy 25:7, etc.). At the gates prophets also frequently delivered their messages (Proverbs 1:21; Proverbs 8:3; Isaiah 29:21; Jeremiah 17:19, Jeremiah 17:20; Jeremiah 26:10). Criminals were punished without the gates (1 Kings 21:13; Acts 7:59). By the "gates of righteousness" we are probably to understand those of the temple (Psalms 118:19). "The gates of hell" (R.V., "gates of Hades") Matthew 16:18, are generally interpreted as meaning the power of Satan, but probably they may mean the power of death, denoting that the Church of Christ shall never die.
