The Hebrew word for gate is שער (shah’-ar) and is the place that the elders would gather to discuss the word of God.
You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates, which the LORD your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
Deuteronomy 16:18 NKJV
They would also conduct business and maters of the heart.
Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there; and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz had spoken came by. So Boaz said, “Come aside, friend, sit down here.” So he came aside and sat down.
