A Joyful, Urgent Command

Commentators see this verse as a series of urgent commands signaling the end of exile. After promises of restoration, the time for action has arrived. The people are commanded to "Go through the gates" (likely of Babylon) and return home. This is a call to actively participate in the promised deliverance, with God commanding that every obstacle be removed to make their journey home smooth and swift.
