And when David came, Ornan, looking, saw him, and came out from the grain-floor and went down on his face to the earth before him.

וַיָּבֹ֥א (וַ) va “and”וַיַּבֵּ֤ט (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֣רְא (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּצֵא֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁתַּ֧חוּ (וַ) va “and”

Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place where this grain-floor is, so that I may put up an altar here to the Lord: let me have it for its full price; so that this disease may be stopped among the people.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Ornan said to David, Take it, and let my lord the king do what seems right to him. See, I give you the oxen for burned offerings and the grain-cleaning instruments for fire-wood, and the grain for the meal offering; I give it all.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And King David said to Ornan, No; I will certainly give you the full price for it, because I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or give a burned offering without payment.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

So David gave Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.

וַיִּתֵּ֥ן (וַ) va “and”

And David put up an altar there to the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings with prayers to the Lord; and he gave him an answer from heaven, sending fire on the altar of burned offering.

וַיִּבֶן֩ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֥עַל (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקְרָא֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּֽעֲנֵ֤הוּ (וַ) va “and”

Then the Lord gave orders to the angel, and he put back his sword into its cover.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֥שֶׁב (וַ) va “and”

At that time, when David saw that the Lord had given him an answer on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he made an offering there.

וַיִּזְבַּ֖ח (וַ) va “and”

Then David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar for Israel's burned offerings.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And David gave orders to get together all the men from strange lands who were in the land of Israel; and he put stone-cutters to work, cutting stones for building the house of God.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיַּעֲמֵ֣ד (וַ) va “and”

And David said, Solomon my son is young and untested, and the house which is to be put up for the Lord is to be very great, a thing of wonder and glory through all countries; so I will make ready what is needed for it. So David got ready a great store of

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֧כֶן (וַ) va “and”

Then he sent for his son Solomon, and gave him orders for the building of a house for the Lord, the God of Israel.

וַיִּקְרָ֖א (וַ) va “and”וַיְצַוֵּ֙הוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”

And David said to Solomon, My son, it was my desire to put up a house for the name of the Lord my God.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

But the word of the Lord came to me saying, You have taken lives without number and made great wars; I will not let you be the builder of a house for my name, because of the lives you have taken on the earth before my eyes.

וַיְהִ֨י (וַ) va “and”

But you will have a son who will be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from wars on every side. His name will be Solomon, and in his time I will give Israel peace and quiet;

וַהֲנִח֥וֹתִי (וַ) va. “and”

He will be the builder of a house for my name; he will be to me a son, and I will be to him a father; and I will make the seat of his rule over Israel certain for ever.

וַהֲכִ֨ינוֹתִ֜י (וַ) va. “and”

Now, my son, may the Lord be with you; and may you do well, and put up the house of the Lord your God, as he has said of you.

וְהִצְלַחְתָּ֗ (וְ) ve. “and”וּבָנִ֙יתָ֙ (וּ) u. “and”

Then David gave orders to all the chiefs of Israel to give their help to Solomon his son, saying,

וַיְצַ֤ו (וַ) va “and”

Is not the Lord your God with you? and has he not given you rest on every side? for the Lord has given the people of the land into my hands, and the land is overcome before the Lord and before his people.

וְהֵנִ֥יחַ (וְ) ve. “and”וְנִכְבְּשָׁ֥ה (וְ) ve. “and”

Now David was old and full of days; and he made his son Solomon king over Israel.

וַיַּמְלֵ֛ךְ (וַ) va “and”

And he got together all the chiefs of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

וַיֶּאֱסֹף֙ (וַ) va “and”

And the Levites, all those of thirty years old and over, were numbered; and the number of them, by heads, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

וַיִּסָּֽפְרוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיְהִ֨י (וַ) va “and”

And David put them into divisions under the names of the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

וַיֶּֽחָלְקֵ֥ם (וַ) va “and”

Jahath was the chief and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah had only a small number of sons, so they were grouped together as one family.

וַֽיְהִי־ (וַֽ) va “and”וַיִּֽהְיוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”

The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was made separate and holy, he and his sons for ever, for the care of the most holy things and the burning of offerings before the Lord, to do his work and give blessings in his name for ever.
