and gate-attendants

Root	שער (š-ʿ-r)
Core Meanings	gate, opening, threshold, access point; to reckon or measure (by extension in other stems)
Semantic Range	gatekeeper, doorkeeper, porter, guardian of an entrance, temple gate official
Conceptual Significance	Gate-attendants held an important role in safeguarding sacred or civic spaces, especially in the Temple. They controlled access, symbolizing ordered approach to holiness and the guarded boundary between the sacred and the common.
Morphological Notes	Conjunction וְ + noun, common masculine plural absolute (Ncmpa). The lemma שׁוֹעֵר is a substantivized active participle functioning as a noun.
Rendering Rationale	The noun שׁוֹעֵר is an active participial form derived from the root שער (“gate”), denoting one who attends or guards a gate. The masculine plural absolute form (with prefixed conjunction וְ) is reflected in the rendering “and gate-attendants,” preserving both the plural number and the occupational sense tied directly to the root meaning.
