1 Chronicles 21:14-28
14So YhwhH3068 sentH5414 pestilenceH1698 upon IsraelH3478: and there fellH5307 of IsraelH3478 seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376. 15And GodH430 sentH7971 an angelH4397 unto JerusalemH3389 to destroyH7843 it: and as he was destroyingH7843, YhwhH3068 beheldH7200, and he repentedH5162 him of the evilH7451, and saidH559 to the angelH4397 that destroyedH7843, It is enoughH7227, stayH7503 now thine handH3027. And the angelH4397 of YhwhH3068 stoodH5975 by the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983.1 16And DavidH1732 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the angelH4397 of YhwhH3068 standH5975 between the earthH776 and the heavenH8064, having a drawnH8025 swordH2719 in his handH3027 stretched outH5186 over JerusalemH3389. Then DavidH1732 and the eldersH2205 of Israel, who were clothedH3680 in sackclothH8242, fellH5307 upon their facesH6440. 17And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GodH430, Is it not I that commandedH559 the peopleH5971 to be numberedH4487? even I it is that have sinnedH2398 and done evilH7489 indeedH7489; but as for these sheepH6629, what have they doneH6213? let thine handH3027, I pray thee, O YhwhH3068 my GodH430, be on me, and on my father’sH1 houseH1004; but not on thy peopleH5971, that they should be plaguedH4046.
18Then the angelH4397 of YhwhH3068 commandedH559 GadH1410 to sayH559 to DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 should go upH5927, and set upH6965 an altarH4196 unto YhwhH3068 in the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983. 19And DavidH1732 went upH5927 at the sayingH1697 of GadH1410, which he spakeH1696 in the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068. 20And OrnanH771 turned backH7725, and sawH7200 the angelH4397; and his fourH702 sonsH1121 with him hidH2244 themselves, but OrnanH771 continued threshingH1758 wheatH2406.2 21And as DavidH1732 cameH935 to OrnanH771, OrnanH771 lookedH5027 and sawH7200 DavidH1732, and went outH3318 of the threshingfloorH1637, and bowedH7812 himself to DavidH1732 with his faceH639 to the groundH776. 22Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, GrantH5414 me the placeH4725 of this threshingfloorH1637, that I may buildH1129 an altarH4196 therein unto YhwhH3068: thou shalt grantH5414 it me for the fullH4392 priceH3701: that the plagueH4046 may be stayedH6113 from the peopleH5971.3 23And OrnanH771 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, TakeH3947 it to thee, and let my lordH113 the kingH4428 doH6213 that which is goodH2896 in his eyesH5869: loH7200, I giveH5414 thee the oxenH1241 also for burnt offeringsH5930, and the threshing instrumentsH4173 for woodH6086, and the wheatH2406 for the grain offeringH4503; I giveH5414 it all. 24And kingH4428 DavidH1732 saidH559 to OrnanH771, Nay; but I will verilyH7069 buyH7069 it for the fullH4392 priceH3701: for I will not takeH5375 that which is thine for YhwhH3068, nor offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 without costH2600. 25So DavidH1732 gaveH5414 to OrnanH771 for the placeH4725 sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of goldH2091 by weightH4948. 26And DavidH1732 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 unto YhwhH3068, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and peace offeringsH8002, and calledH7121 upon YhwhH3068; and he answeredH6030 him from heavenH8064 by fireH784 upon the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930. 27And YhwhH3068 commandedH559 the angelH4397; and he put upH7725 his swordH2719 againH7725 into the sheathH5084 thereof.
28At that timeH6256 when DavidH1732 sawH7200 that YhwhH3068 had answeredH6030 him in the threshingfloorH1637 of OrnanH771 the JebusiteH2983, then he sacrificedH2076 there.
