H0559–אָמַר–a.mar

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

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

And Joab answered, the LORD make his people a hundred times more numerous than they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?

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

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

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

And the LORD spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,

לֵאמֹֽר׃ (אמֹֽר) Mor “saying”

Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it to thee.

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

So Gad came to David, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee

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

And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.

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

And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thy hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

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

And David said to God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be afflicted.

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

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

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

Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build an altar in it to the LORD: thou shalt grant it to me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.

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

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

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

And king David said to Ornan, No; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt-offerings without cost.

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

And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.

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

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

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

And David commanded to assemble the strangers 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 built for the LORD must be very magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparation before his death.

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

And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house to the name of the LORD my God:

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

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

לֵאמֹ֔ר (אמֹ֔ר) Mor “saying”

For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest to his people, that they may dwell 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 the LORD had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens.

אָמַ֣ר 'a.Mar “he had said”

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

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

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

אָ֣מַר 'A.mar “he said”

And he said to 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 the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

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