Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "gate" is πυλών (pylon), Strong's Greek 4439, which also refers to a gate or entrance. Usage: The Hebrew word "tera" is used to denote a gate or entrance, often referring to the physical structure that serves as a point of entry or exit.
