17  And David spoke unto YHWH when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said: 'Lo, I have sinned, and I have done iniquitously; but these sheep, what have they done? let Thy hand, I pray Thee, be against me, and against my father's house.'

2Sm24:18  Then Gad went to David on that day, and he said, “Ascend and construct an altar to the Lord on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”

17  Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who smote the people, and said to the angel, I have sinned and I have given provocation; but these innocent sheep, what have they done? Let thy hand be against me, and against my father's house.

18  And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him: 'Go up, rear an altar unto YHWH in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.'

2Sm24:19  And David ascended in accord with the word of Gad, which the Lord had commanded to him.

18  And Gad the prophet came that day to David and said to him, Go up and build an altar to the LORD in the threshing floor of Aran the Jebusite.

19  And David went up according to the saying of Gad, as YHWH commanded.

2Sm24:20  And looking out, Araunah turned his attention to the king and his servants, passing toward him.

20  And Araunah looked forth, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him; and Araunah went out, and bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.

2Sm24:21  And going out, he adored the king, lying prone with his face to the ground, and he said, “What is the reason that my lord the king has come to his servant?” And David said to him, “So as to purchase the threshing floor from you, and to build an altar to the Lord, and to quiet the plague that rages among the people.”

20  And when Aran the Jebusite turned back and saw the king and his servants coming toward him, Aran fell down and did obeisance to the king with his face to the ground.

21  And Araunah said: 'Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant?' And David said: 'To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar unto YHWH, that the plague may be stayed from the people.'

21  And Orna said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? and David said, To buy of thee the threshing-floor, in order to build an altar to the Lord that the plague may be restrained from off the people.

2Sm24:22  And Araunah said to David: “May my lord the king offer and accept whatever is pleasing to him. You have oxen for a holocaust, and the cart and the yokes of the oxen to use for wood.”

22  And Araunah said unto David: 'Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him; behold the oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-instruments and the furniture of the oxen for the wood.'

2Sm24:23  All these things Araunah gave, as a king to a king. And Araunah said to the king, “May the Lord your God accept your vow.”

22  Then Aran said to David, Let my lord the king take what seems good to him; behold, here are the oxen for the burnt offering, and the ploughshare and the yokes for fuel.

23  All this did Araunah the king give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king: 'YHWH thy God accept thee.'

23  Orna gave all to the king: and Orna said to the king, The Lord thy God bless thee.

2Sm24:24  And in response, the king said to him: “It shall not be as you wish. Instead, I will purchase it from you at a price. For I will not offer to the Lord, my God, holocausts that cost nothing.” Therefore, David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

24  And the king said unto Araunah: 'Nay; but I will verily buy it of thee at a price; neither will I offer burnt-offerings unto YHWH my God which cost me nothing.' So David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

2Sm24:25  And in that place, David built an altar to the Lord. And he offered holocausts and peace offerings. And the Lord was gracious to the land, and the plague was held back from Israel.

25  And David built there an altar unto YHWH, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. So the YHWH was entreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.

25  And David built there an altar to the Lord, and offered up whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings: and Solomon made an addition to the altar afterwards, for it was little at first. And the Lord hearkened to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
