KJV ORIGINAL
But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
When people come to worship God during the big festivals, here's the deal: if you enter through the north gate, you have to leave through the south gate. If you come in through the south gate, you leave through the north gate. You can't just turn around and go back out the way you came in — you have to exit on the opposite side.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God wants worship to move you forward, not backward.
