Exegesis
The adverbial phrase exo tes pyles {ἔξω τῆς πύλης | éx-ō tês pú-lēs} “outside the gate” is placed before the verb epathen {ἔπαθεν | é-pa-then} “He suffered,” emphasizing the place of suffering as ritually and socially outside, in deliberate parallel to the earlier description of bodies burned outside the camp. The word order groups the purpose (hina clause) and means (dia phrase) together, then climaxes with the succinct “outside the gate He suffered,” which the translations mirror by preserving the explicit purpose clause and ending with the act of suffering.
In context — Hebrews 13:12
Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through His own blood .
