(Heb. Suir, סוּר, reinoved, as in Isaiah 49:21; Sept. αἱ ὁδοί; Vulg. Sur), the name of one of the gates of the Temple at Jerusalem (2 Kings 23:6); called in the parallel passage (2 Chronicles 23:5) "the gate of the foundation," יְסוֹד (which is the preferable reading), being apparently that which led across to Zion by the causeway or bridge. (See TEMPLE).
