Study Note
The goal of God's redemptive visitation is stated with precision: that his people might serve him in 'holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.' The coupling of holiness (cultic purity) and righteousness (ethical integrity) captures the full shape of covenantal faithfulness demanded in the Torah. The phrase 'before him' — coram Deo — establishes that all life is lived in God's presence, not merely religious moments. This eschatological hope of continuous, undistracted worship anticipates Revelation's vision of ceaseless service before the throne (Revelation 7:15; 22:3).
