H0559–אָמַר–a.mar

And David said to Joab and the captains of the people, Now let all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, be numbered; and give me word so that I may be certain of their number.

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

And Joab said, May the Lord make his people a hundred times more in number than they are; but, my lord king, are they not all my lord's servants? why would my lord have this done? why will he become a cause of sin to Israel?

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

Then David said to God, Great has been my sin in doing this; but now, be pleased to take away the sin of your servant, for I have done very foolishly.

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

Then the word of the Lord came to Gad, David's seer, saying,

לֵאמֹֽר׃ (אמֹֽר) Mor “saying”

Go and say to David, The Lord says, Three things are offered to you: say which of them you will have, so that I may do it to you.

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

So Gad came to David and said to him, The Lord says, Take whichever you will:

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

And David said to Gad, This is a hard decision for me to make: let me come into the hands of the Lord, for great are his mercies: let me not come into the hands of men.

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

And God sent an angel to Jerusalem for its destruction: and when he was about to do so, the Lord saw, and had regret for the evil, and said to the angel of destruction, It is enough; do no more. Now the angel of the Lord was by the grain-floor of Ornan t

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

And David said to God, Was it not I who gave the order for the people to be numbered? It is I who have done the sin and the great wrong; but these are only sheep; what have they done? let your hand, O Lord God, be lifted up against me and against my fami

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

Then the angel of the Lord gave orders to Gad to say to David that he was to go and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

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

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 (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

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 (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

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 (יֹּ֨אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

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

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

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

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

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 (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

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 (יֹּ֣אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

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 (יֹּ֥אמֶר) i.Yo.mer “he said”

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.

לֵאמֹ֔ר (אמֹ֔ר) Mor “saying”

For David said, The Lord, the God of Israel, has given his people rest, and he has made his resting-place in Jerusalem for ever;

אָמַ֣ר 'a.Mar “he had said”

But David did not take the number of those who were under twenty years old, for the Lord had said that he would make Israel like the stars of heaven in number.

אָמַ֣ר 'a.Mar “he had said”

Then David the king got up and said, Give ear to me, my brothers and my people; it was my desire to put up a house, a resting-place for the ark of the Lord's agreement, and for the foot-rest of our God; and I had got material ready for the building of it

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

But God said to me, You are not to be the builder of a house for my name, because you are a man of war and have taken life;

אָ֣מַר 'A.mar “he said”

And he said to me, Solomon your son will be the builder of my house and the open spaces round it; for I have taken him to be my son, and I will be his father.

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

And David said to his son Solomon, Be strong and of a good heart and do your work; have no fear and do not be troubled, for the Lord God, my God, is with you; he will not give you up, and his face will not be turned away from you, till all the work neces
