העיר קרית גת מוקירה ומצדיעה לראשוני בניה החלוצים שבאו בשעריה מכל קצוות תבל, התיישבו בה, נטעו בה עץ וגן, בנו בית ילדו בנים ובנות, לימדו אותם חכמה ודעת, חינכו אותם לאהבת המולדת, הגשימו את החזון הציוני וחזו כתקומת עם ישראל בארצו.

Translation of the text on the sign: with God’s help
Founders’ Square [City emblem of Kiryat Gat]
"... Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all are gathered together, and come to thee; thy sons come from far, and thy daughters are borne on the side. ..." (Isaiah 50:4)
The city of Kiryat Gat cherishes and salutes its firstborn sons, the pioneers who came through its gates from all corners of the world, settled there, planted trees and gardens, built houses, gave birth to sons and daughters, taught them wisdom and knowledge, educated them to love their homeland, fulfilled the Zionist vision, and envisioned the resurrection of the people of Israel in their land.
[In the other tablets] We have reminded you of the kindness of the firstborn [Names of the founders]
