Exegesis
The compound ve-el-shaʿar mekomo {וְאֶל־שַׁעַר מְקֹמוֹ | wə-ʾel-sha-ʿar mə-qō-mō} ‘and to the gate of his place’ specifies the public judicial venue, combining gate as an open forum and place as the communal center. The Hebrew S–V–O–PP–PP structure enforces a clear sequence of agents, actions, and locations, which is preserved in English through coordinated conjunctions and prepositional phrases.
In context — Deuteronomy 21:19
Then his father and his mother shall seize him and bring him out to the elders of his city and to the gate of his place.
