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.
