SATAN GOADS DAVID TO NUMBER YISRA EL
And Satan stands against Yisra El and goads David to number Yisra El: 2 and David says to Yah Ab and to the governors of the people, Go, number and scribe Yisra El from Beer Sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, so I know. 3 And Yah Ab says, Yah Veh adds to his people a hundred times: but, my adoni sovereign, are they not all servants of my adoni? Why seeks my adoni this? Why becomes he a guilt to Yisra El? 4 And the word of the sovereign prevails against Yah Ab: and Yah Ab goes - goes through all Yisra El and comes to Yeru Shalem: 5 and Yah Ab gives the number of the census of the people to David: and all Yisra El is a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men who draw sword: and Yah Hudah is four hundred seventy thousand men who draw sword: 6 and he musters not Levi and Ben Yamin among them: for the word of the sovereign is abhorrent to Yah Ab: 7 and this word is evil in the eyes of Elohim; and he smites Yisra El. 8 And David says to Elohim, I sinned mightily in working this word: and now, I beseech you, pass over the perversity of your servant; for I follied mightily. 9 And Yah Veh words to Gad the seer of David, saying, 10 Go and word to David, saying, Thus says Yah Veh: I spread these three to you: choose one of these, for me to work to you. 11 And Gad comes to David and says to him, Thus says Yah Veh: Take to you 12 - either three years famine; - or three months to be scraped away at the face of your tribulators as the sword of your enemies overtakes you; - or three days of the sword of Yah Veh even the pestilence in the land and the angel of Yah Veh ruining throughout all the borders of Yisra El: and now see, What word return I to him who sends me? 13 And David says to Gad, I am mighty tribulated: Let me fall, I pray you, into the hand of Yah Veh; for mighty many are his mercies: but that I not fall into the hand of humanity. 14 So Yah Veh gives pestilence on Yisra El: and there fall seventy thousand men of Yisra El: 15 and Elohim sends an angel to ruin Yeru Shalem: and as he ruins, Yah Veh sees and he sighs concerning the evil; and says to the angel who ruins, Enough now! Slacken your hand! And the angel of Yah Veh stands by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Yebusiy: 16 and David lifts his eyes and sees the angel of Yah Veh stand between the earth and between the heavens, with his sword drawn in his hand spread over Yeru Shalem. - and David and the elders cover in saq and fall on their faces. 17 And David says to Elohim, Said I not to number the people? Yes, I who sins? Who in vilifying, vilifies? And as for this flock, what worked they? Let your hand, I beseech you, O Yah Veh my Elohim, be on me and on the house of my father; but not on your people, to plague them. 18 And the angel of Yah Veh says to Gad to say to David, that David ascend and raise a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Yebusiy. 19 And David ascends at the word Gad words in the name of Yah Veh: 20 and Ornan turns back and sees the angel; and his four sons with him hide themselves: and Ornan threshes wheat: 21 and David comes to Ornan; and Ornan looks and sees David and goes from the threshingfloor and bows himself to David with his nostrils to the earth. 22 And David says to Ornan, Give me the place of the threshingfloor to build a sacrifice altar therein to Yah Veh - give it me for the full silver: to restrain the plague from the people. 23 And Ornan says to David, Take it to yourself and may my adoni the sovereign work what is good in his eyes: see, I give you the oxen for holocausts and the threshing sledges for timber and the wheat for the offering - I give all. 24 And sovereign David says to Ornan, No; but in chatteling, I chattel it for the full silver: for neither lift I what is yours for Yah Veh, nor holocaust holocausts gratuitously. 25 And David gives Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place: 26 and there David builds a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh and holocausted holocausts and shelamim; and calls on Yah Veh. - and he answers him from the heavens by fire on the sacrifice altar of holocaust. 27 And Yah Veh says to the angel; and he turns his sword back into its sheath: 28 at that time David sees that Yah Veh answers him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Yebusiy: and he sacrifices there. 29 And the tabernacle of Yah Veh, Mosheh worked in the wilderness and the sacrifice altar of the holocaust, are at that time in the bamah at Gibon: 30 and David cannot go at its face to enquire of Elohim because he is frightened of the face of the sword of the angel of Yah Veh.
