Exegesis
The prepositional phrase lefānāv {לְפָנָ֔יו | lə-pā-nāw} ‘before Him’ establishes the spatial context, and behadrat-qodesh {בְּהַדְרַת־קֹֽדֶשׁ | bə-hă-dārat-qō-ḏeš} ‘in the splendor of holiness’ frames the worship setting. The balanced imperatives and construct phrases emphasize communal reverence expressed through offering, approach, and adoration.
In context — 1 Chronicles 16:29
Give to the LORD the glory of His name; bring an offering and come before Him; bow down to the LORD in the splendor of holiness.
