The Gate of the Firstborn

The Gate of the Firstborn was one of the four southern gates of the Court. Through this gate, the firstborn offerings were brought in to the Court. It should be noted that the firstborn offerings were attributed a lower level of sanctity and therefore their slaughter is permitted anywhere in the Court. Therefore, they were brought in on the southern side.
