• Gate Miphkad may be translated, “the gate of the appointed place.” In chapter 12 of Deuteronomy we find a description of the land of Canaan in the days of Joshua. The nations that occupied it served their gods upon every high mountain, on the hills, and under every green tree (Deut. 12:2). The children of Israel were not to behave in this manner (Deut. 12:4). (“The Gates - Neh. 3:1-32” by N. Simon)
• (Ruth 4:1). The gate of the appointed place would, I believe, especially bring before us the administrative responsibility of the assembly. Judgment is made in the assembly because Christ is in the midst — that is where she derives her authority, and it is for this reason she must act. The assembly has a responsibility to guard and to judge that which comes into its midst. (“The Gates - Neh. 3:1-32” by N. Simon)
