H0559–אָמַר–a.mar

And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And Joab said, Jehovah make his people a hundred times as many as they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Israel?

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing: but now, put away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (יֹּ֤אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And Jehovah spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,

לֵאמֹֽר׃ (אמֹֽר) Mor “saying”

Go and speak unto David, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

לֵאמֹ֗ר (אמֹ֗ר) Mor “saying”אָמַ֣ר 'a.Mar “he says”

So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Take which thou wilt:

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (יֹּ֥אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”אָמַ֥ר 'a.Mar “he says”

And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray, into the hand of Jehovah; for very great are his mercies: and let me not fall into the hand of man.

וַיֹּ֧אמֶר (יֹּ֧אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was about to destroy, Jehovah beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the destroying angel, It is enough; now stay thy hand. And the angel of Jehovah was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, O Jehovah my God, be against me, and against my father's house; but not against thy people, that they should be plagued.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”אָמַ֜רְתִּי 'a.Mar.ti “did I say”

Then the angel of Jehovah commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and rear an altar unto Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

אָמַ֥ר 'a.Mar “he said”לֵאמֹ֣ר (אמֹ֣ר) Mor “say”

Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto Jehovah: for the full price shalt thou give it me, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give [ergänzt: thee] the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal-offering; I give it all.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for Jehovah, nor offer a burnt-offering without cost.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And Jehovah commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (יֹּ֤אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he spoke”

Then David said, This is the house of Jehovah God, and this is the altar of burnt-offering for Israel.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And David commanded to gather together the sojourners that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for Jehovah must be exceeding magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And David said to Solomon his son, As for me, it was in my heart to build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (יֹּ֥אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

But the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

לֵאמֹ֔ר (אמֹ֔ר) Mor “saying”

For David said, Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath given rest unto his people; and he dwelleth in Jerusalem for ever:

אָמַ֣ר 'a.Mar “he had said”

But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under, because Jehovah had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of heaven.

אָמַ֣ר 'a.Mar “he had said”

Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people: as for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and for the footstool of our God; and I had made ready for the building.

וַיֹּ֕אמֶר (יֹּ֕אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.

אָ֣מַר 'A.mar “he said”

And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts; for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed; for Jehovah God, even my God, is with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until all the work for the service of the house of Jehovah be finished.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”
