the threshing floor of Ornan the
ernacle of Jehovah that Moses
Second Col. had made in the wilderness and
a Ge 23:13 the altar of burnt offering were
at that time on the high place
Jebu·site. i 19 Accordingly David
went up at the word of Gad
that he had spoken in the name
of Jehovah. j 20 Meantime, Ornan
k turned back and saw the
angel; and his four sons with
him were hiding themselves.
Now Ornan had been threshing
wheat. 21 So David came as far
as Ornan. When Ornan looked
and saw David, l he immediately
went out of the threshing floor
and bowed down to David with
his face to the earth. 22 Then
David said to Ornan: “Do give
me the place of the threshing
floor, that I may build in it an
altar to Jehovah. For the money
m in full give it to me, n that
the scourge o may be halted from
upon the people.” 23 But Ornan
said to David: “Take it as
your own, p and let my lord the
king do what is good in his own
eyes. See, I do give the cattle q for
burnt offerings and the threshing
r sledge for the wood s and the
wheat as a grain offering. The
whole I do give.” t

Then David said: “This is
the house j of Jehovah the
true God, and this is an altar k for
burnt offering for Israel.”

the alien residents l that
were in the land of Israel, and
then he set them as stone hewers
