(sha'ar ha-gay', "Gate of the Gai"):

Is placed (Nehemiah 3:13) between the "tower of the furnaces" and the "dung gate"; from here Nehemiah (Nehemiah 3:13) set out on his ride down the "Gai" (Hinnom) to Siloam, and, too (Nehemiah 12:31 , 38), from here the Levites commenced their compass of the city in two directions. It must have been an ancient gate, for Uzziah added towers to it (2 Chronicles 26:9). It was probably near the Southwest corner of the city and near to, if not identical with, the gate found by Bliss near (now in) the Protestant Cemetery.

See JERUSALEM, VI, 13.
