141So the LordH3068 2sentH5414 a pestilenceH1698 on IsraelH3478; 70,000H7657H505 menH376 of IsraelH3478 fellH5307. 15And GodH430 sentH7971 an angelH4397 to JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it; but as he was about to destroyH7843 it, the LordH3068 sawH7200 and 3was sorryH5162 overH5921 the calamityH7463, and saidH559 to the destroyingH7843 angelH4397, “It is enoughH7227; nowH6258 relaxH7503 your handH3027.” And the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 was standingH5975 by the threshingH1637 floorH1637 of 4OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. 16Then DavidH1732 liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869 and sawH7200 the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 standingH5975 betweenH996 earthH776 and heavenH8064, with his drawnH8025 swordH2719 in his handH3027 stretchedH5186 out overH5921 JerusalemH3389. Then DavidH1732 and the eldersH2205, 5coveredH3680 with sackclothH8242, fellH5307 on their facesH6440. 17DavidH1732 saidH559 to GodH430, “Is it not I who 6commandedH559 to countH4487 the peopleH5971? Indeed, I am the one whoH834 has sinnedH2398 and doneH7489 veryH7489 wickedlyH7489, 7but theseH428 sheepH6629, whatH4100 have they doneH6213? O LordH3068 my GodH430, pleaseH4994 let Your handH3027 be against me and my father’sH1 householdH1004, but not against Your peopleH5971 that they should be plaguedH4046.”
