16 And the angel spreads his hand on Yeru Shalem to ruin it; and Yah Veh sighs of the evil; and says to the angel who ruined the people, Enough! Slacken now your hand. - and the angel of Yah Veh is by the threshingplace of Aravnah the Yebusiy.
17 And David says to Yah Veh when he sees the angel who smites the people and says, Behold, I sinned and I perverted: but these flock, what worked they? O that your hand, I pray you, be against me and against the house of my father.
18 And that day Gad comes to David and says to him, Ascend! Raise a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh in the threshingfloor of Aravnah the Yebusiy.
19 And David ascends according to the word of Gad as Yah Veh misvahed:
20 and Aravnah looks and sees the sovereign and his servants passing toward him: and Aravnah goes out and prostrates himself to the sovereign on his nostrils on the earth:
21 and Aravnah says, Why comes my adoni the sovereign to his servant? And David says, To chattel your threshingfloor; to build a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh to restrain the plague from the people.
22 And Aravnah says to David, O that my adoni the sovereign take and holocaust whatever is good in his eyes: see - oxen for holocaust and threshing sledges and instruments of the oxen for timber.
23 Aravnah gives all these - sovereign to sovereign: and Aravnah says to the sovereign, Yah Veh your Elohim is pleased of you.
