Seems interesting that the gates and who is responsible for them was also divided by families.  That seems an interesting thing to divide up.  I wonder if there were some gates that were more prominent, or some that weren’t (like a back door), and whether there was any resentment about which family got which door.  It also makes you think about how much pride must have gone into that over the years.  Imagine it as a family heirloom or a plot of land that is held by a family for many generations.  Grandfathers telling their grandchildren about guarding the gate and that they will be doing it someday.
