Afterward the prophet is conducted to the gateway that faces toward the east as one movement within a larger vision in which a man measures the temple. That man works with a measuring reed, going through the structure and recording each portion, including its great gate facing east. The careful measuring of every detail sets forth the exactness of God's standard. The pattern of the temple so measured was given to teach Israel about God's law and His holiness.
