In the ancient Near Eastern context, the idea of counting steps signifies a detailed awareness of one's actions and life journey. This aligns with <a href="/psalms/139-3.htm">Psalm 139:3</a>, where God is described as being acquainted with all our ways. The imagery of counting steps suggests a God who is attentive and concerned with the minutiae of human life, emphasizing His role as a meticulous observer and judge.<p><b>but would not keep track of my sin</b><br>Here, Job expresses a hope or desire for divine mercy, where God, despite His awareness of every action, chooses not to hold sins against him. This reflects a deep yearning for forgiveness and grace, themes that are central to the biblical narrative. The concept of God not keeping track of sin is echoed in passages like <a href="/psalms/103-12.htm">Psalm 103:12</a>, where God removes transgressions as far as the east is from the west. This anticipates the New Testament revelation of Jesus Christ, who offers redemption and forgiveness, fulfilling the hope that sins are not counted against those who are in Him (<a href="/2_corinthians/5-19.htm">2 Corinthians 5:19</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man described as blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil.
