into your room and, having shut the door, pray to your Father, to the one who is hidden from sight, and your Father, who sees in the places that are hidden from sight, will reward you.

Paraphrase

But you should be different. When you pray, go deep into the most secluded room of your house, shut the door so no one can see you, then pray to your Father, to the one who is also hidden from sight, and then your Father, the one who sees what happens even in places that are hidden from the sight of others, will reward you.

This verb and it prefix mean “go into” but it is followed by the word “into,” so “enter into” is used to convey the meaning in English. The use of the word “into” twice in a row was a form of emphasis, Go as far away from the eyes of others as possible.
