Araunah » Also called ornan
And God sent a messenger to Jerusalem, to lay it waste, but, as he was laying it waste, Yahweh looked, and relented concerning the calamity, and said unto the messenger who was laying waste, Enough! now, stay thy hand. And, the messenger of Yahweh, was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. And, when David lifted up his eyes, and saw the messenger of Yahweh, standing, between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn, in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem, then fell David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, upon their faces. And David said unto God, Was it not, I, who gave word to number the people? Yea, I, it was who sinned and did the great wrong, what then had, these sheep, done? O Yahweh, my God, let thy hand, I beseech thee, be against me, and against the house of my father, but not against, thy people, that they should be plagued! read more.
And, the messenger of Yahweh, commanded Gad, to say unto David, - that David should go up, to rear an altar unto Yahweh, in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. So David went up, according to the word of Gad, which he spake in the name of Yahweh. And Ornan turned, and saw the messenger, but, his four sons with him, were hiding themselves, - now, Ornan, had been threshing wheat. Then came David unto Ornan, - and Ornan looked, and saw David, and went forth out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself unto David, with his face to the ground. And David said unto Ornan, Grant me the place of the threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar, unto Yahweh, - for silver in full, shalt thou grant it me, that the plague may be stayed from off the people. And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do what is good in his own eyes, - see! I have given the oxen for ascending-sacrifices, and, the threshing implements for wood, and the wheat for a meal-offering, - the whole, have I given. Then said King David to Ornan, Nay! but I will, surely buy, it for silver in full, - for I will not take that which is thine for Yahweh, nor offer an ascending-sacrifice that hath cost me nothing. So David gave to Ornan, for the place, - shekels of gold, by weight, six hundred.
