And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.
The entry lay beneath the chambers on the east side, reached as one goes into them from the outer court. It belonged to a scene in which a man with the appearance of brass stood in the gate and measured the whole building with a reed in his hand. Every little chamber and doorway and arch and pillar was recorded, together with the great gate looking toward the east and every least item, all set down according to the measurement by the reed.
That exact measuring reaches to the least part of God's house, showing that true measure is everything. It means the very law of God brought into the least of human acts and dealings. Spiritually it is God's measure of the man, requiring faithfulness in the least and honest, faithful dealing. It requires love to God supremely and to neighbor as self, building character after the divine model in preparation for the glory to be revealed.
