Exegesis
Location is expressed by a layered set of spatial elements: beshaar {בְּשַׁעַר | bəšaʿar} ‘at the gate’ is tightened by the construct chain beit-YHWH {בֵּית־יְהוָה | bêṯ-YHWH} ‘house of the LORD’, and the final adverb chutzah {חֻצָה | ḥûṣâ} ‘outside’ sits at the end-position for clarity and emphasis, marking the placement as accessible from the outer area rather than within the sanctuary proper.
Root and etymology
consonantsshin–ayin–resh
