Pagan temples typically door is on west side so that you enter facing east, towards rising sun. Tabernacle is opposite, with the door on the east side. I forget why the gate on the east side was significant.

Because people were not allowed to enter the holy of holies, it indicated that the sacrifices were not sufficient.
