The phase "Keep thy Foot," means to guard to or be careful when you go to a house of God. In the OT, it was the Tabernacle, and then the Temple. God is instructing us to go to church with the proper attitude. You will get what you come looking for. If you are hungry for God and His Word, you wil ...
