The Gate of God's Glory

Commentators explain that the detailed measurement of the east gate is significant. This gate is given preeminence because it is the very entrance through which the glory of the Lord would return to His house (Ezekiel 43:1). The meticulous detail signifies a holy and ordered space, prepared for God's presence.
