the gateways

Morphological NotesMasculine plural absolute noun (HNcmpa) from שַׁעַר; no pronominal suffix; plural ending ־ִים.
Rendering RationaleThe noun שַׁעַר derives from the root שער in the sense of an opening or access point. Rendering it as "gateways" preserves the concrete idea of structured entrances while reflecting the masculine plural absolute form (HNcmpa) with the definite article supplied contextually as in common translation ("the gates").
