Strong's Lexicon shalleketh: Gate, specifically "Gate of the Casting Out" or "Refuse Gate." Original Word: שַׁלֶּכֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׁלַךְ (shalak), meaning "to throw" or "to cast." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of gates and purification can be related to Greek terms such as πυλών (pylon, Strong's G4439) for "gate" and καθαρισμός (katharismos, Strong's G2512) for "purification." Usage: The term "shalleketh" refers to a specific gate mentioned in the context of the temple or city infrastructure, often associated with the disposal or casting out of refuse. It is a place designated for the removal of waste, symbolizing purification and the maintenance of holiness within the sacred precincts. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the temple and city gates were significant both practically and symbolically. Gates served as points of entry and exit, places of judgment, and locations for public discourse. The "Gate of the Casting Out" would have been essential for maintaining the cleanliness and sanctity of the temple area, reflecting the broader cultural emphasis on purity and order in worship practices.
