The eye of the needle mentioned in The Bible is usually defined as the small door of the city gate. At night the huge gates are closed and anyone coming to the gate during the night had to stoop over to enter through this little door. Camels had to get down on their knees to get through. The eye of the needle (small door) was designed that way so soldiers could not come running in with swords drawn to fight. It was a safety meansure for the protection of the city.

The length of the eye of a needle can vary depending on the size and type of needle. Generally, the eye of a needle can range from 0.5 to 3 millimeters in length. Thinner needles usually have smaller eyes, while larger needles used for sewing thicker fabrics or for embroidery may have larger eyes.
