GATE

   GAT Extended?  Based on {IT}.

   [Sammet 1969, p. 139].
    

gate

   <hardware> A low-level {digital} logic component.  Gates
   perform {Boolean} {functions} (e.g. {AND}, {NOT}), store
   {bits} of data (e.g. a {flip-flop}), and connect and
   disconnect various parts of the overall circuit to control the
   flow of data ({tri-state} buffer).

   In a {CPU}, the term applies particularly to the buffers that
   route data between the various {functional units}.  Each gate
   allows data to flow from one unit to another or enables data
   from one output onto a certain {bus}.

   (1999-09-02)
    

Gate
(1.) Of cities, as of Jerusalem (Jer. 37:13; Neh. 1:3; 2:3;
3:3), of Sodom (Gen. 19:1), of Gaza (Judg. 16:3).

  (2.) Of royal palaces (Neh. 2:8).

  (3.) Of the temple of Solomon (1 Kings 6:34, 35; 2 Kings
18:16); of the holy place (1 Kings 6:31, 32; Ezek. 41:23, 24);
of the outer courts of the temple, the beautiful gate (Acts
3:2).

  (4.) Tombs (Matt. 27:60).

  (5.) Prisons (Acts 12:10; 16:27).

  (6.) Caverns (1 Kings 19:13).

  (7.) Camps (Ex. 32:26, 27; Heb. 13:12).

  The materials of which gates were made were,

  (1.) Iron and brass (Ps. 107:16; Isa. 45:2; Acts 12:10).

  (2.) Stones and pearls (Isa. 54:12; Rev. 21:21).

  (3.) Wood (Judg. 16:3) probably.

  At the gates of cities courts of justice were frequently held,
and hence "judges of the gate" are spoken of (Deut. 16:18; 17:8;
21:19; 25:6, 7, etc.). At the gates prophets also frequently
delivered their messages (Prov. 1:21; 8:3; Isa. 29:21; Jer.
17:19, 20; 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 (Ps. 118:19). "The
gates of hell" (R.V., "gates of Hades") Matt. 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.
