וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֵלַ֜י יְהוָ֗ה הַשַּׁ֣עַר הַזֶּה֩ סָג֨וּר יִהְיֶ֜ה לֹ֣א יִפָּתֵ֗חַ וְאִישׁ֙ לֹא־יָ֣בֹא ב֔וֹ כִּ֛י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בָּ֣א ב֑וֹ וְהָיָ֖ה סָגֽוּר׃
Lalu Yang Mahakekal berfirman kepadaku: “Gerbang ini harus tetap tertutup; ia tidak boleh dibuka, dan tidak seorang pun boleh masuk melaluinya, sebab Yang Mahakekal, Allah Israel, telah masuk melaluinya; karena itu gerbang ini harus tetap tertutup.”

Rabbi Abba bar Kahana said in the name of Rebbi Shmuel, "See the humility that is in the hand of Hashem [in] what is written (Yechezkel 44:2)," "ויאמר ה' אלי השער הזה סגור יהיה לא יפתח וגו'." A king of flesh and blood in his honor will enter through a large entrance. However, Hashem enters in his honor [even] through a small gate. Thus, His humility is vast.
