1 Chronicles 21:20 · ZARZA Bible

In context

18Then the angel of Yahweh told Gad to say to David that David should go up and set up an altar to Yahweh on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 19So David went up at the word of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of Yahweh. 20Ornan turned and saw the angel, and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. 21As David approached Ornan, Ornan looked up and saw David, and went out from the threshing floor and bowed down to David with his face to the ground. 22David said to Ornan, “Give me the site of this threshing floor, that I may build on it an altar to Yahweh — give it to me for its full price — so that the plague may be stopped from the people.”
