1 Chronicles 21:21 · ZARZA Bible

In context

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.” 23Ornan said to David, “Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes. See, I give you the oxen for burnt offerings, the threshing sledges for wood, and the wheat for the grain offering — I give it all.”
