Strong's Lexicon Shalleketh: Gate of Shalleketh Original Word: שַׁלֶּכֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׁלַךְ (shalak), meaning "to throw down" or "to cast." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Shalleketh" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term related to the temple gates. Usage: The term "Shalleketh" refers specifically to a gate mentioned in the context of the temple in Jerusalem. It is often understood as the "Gate of Casting Down" or "Refuse Gate," indicating a place where refuse or waste might have been disposed of or cast out. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, gates were significant not only for defense but also for social and economic activities. The Gate of Shalleketh, mentioned in the context of the temple, would have been an important location for the management of temple activities, possibly related to the disposal of waste from sacrifices or other temple functions. The temple was central to Israelite worship and community life, and its gates were integral to its operation.
