  1. 1And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.וַיַּֽעֲמֹ֥ד שָׂטָ֖ן עַל יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיָּ֨סֶת֙ אֶת דָּוִ֔יד לִמְנ֖וֹת אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
  2. 2And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֤יד אֶל יוֹאָב֙ וְאֶל שָׂרֵ֣י הָעָ֔ם לְכ֗וּ סִפְרוּ֙ אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל שֶׁ֖בַע וְעַד דָּ֑ן וְהָבִ֣יאוּ אֵלַ֔י וְאֵדְעָ֖ה אֶת מִסְפָּרָֽם
  3. 3And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: 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 יוֹאָ֗ב יוֹסֵף֩ יְהוָ֨ה עַל עַמּ֤וֹ כָּהֵם֙ מֵאָ֣ה פְעָמִ֔ים הֲלֹא֙ אֲדֹנִ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ כֻּלָּ֥ם לַאדֹנִ֖י לַעֲבָדִ֑ים לָ֣מָּה יְבַקֵּ֥שׁ זֹאת֙ אֲדֹנִ֔י לָ֛מָּה יִהְיֶ֥ה לְאַשְׁמָ֖ה לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל
  4. 4Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.וּדְבַר הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ חָזַ֣ק עַל יוֹאָ֑ב וַיֵּצֵ֣א יוֹאָ֗ב וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ֙ בְּכָל יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיָּבֹ֖א יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם
  5. 5And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.וַיִּתֵּ֥ן יוֹאָ֛ב אֶת מִסְפַּ֥ר מִפְקַד הָעָ֖ם אֶל דָּוִ֑יד וַיְהִ֣י כָֽל יִשְׂרָאֵ֡ל אֶ֣לֶף אֲלָפִים֩ וּמֵאָ֨ה אֶ֤לֶף אִישׁ֙ שֹׁ֣לֵֽף חֶ֔רֶב וִֽיהוּדָ֕ה אַרְבַּע֩ מֵא֨וֹת וְשִׁבְעִ֥ים אֶ֛לֶף אִ֖ישׁ שֹׁ֥לֵֽף חָֽרֶב
  6. 6But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.וְלֵוִי֙ וּבִנְיָמִ֔ן לֹ֥א פָקַ֖ד בְּתוֹכָ֑ם כִּֽי נִתְעַ֥ב דְּבַר הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ אֶת יוֹאָֽב
  7. 7And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.וַיֵּ֨רַע֙ בְּעֵינֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים עַל הַדָּבָ֖ר הַזֶּ֑ה וַיַּ֖ךְ אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
  8. 8And David said unto 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 דָּוִיד֙ אֶל הָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים חָטָ֣אתִֽי מְאֹ֔ד אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשִׂ֖יתִי אֶת הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֑ה וְעַתָּ֗ה הַֽעֲבֶר נָא֙ אֶת עֲו֣וֹן עַבְדְּךָ֔ כִּ֥י נִסְכַּ֖לְתִּי מְאֹֽד
  9. 9And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,וַיְדַבֵּ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֶל גָּ֔ד חֹזֵ֥ה דָוִ֖יד לֵאמֹֽר
  10. 10Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.לֵךְ֩ וְדִבַּרְתָּ֨ אֶל דָּוִ֜יד לֵאמֹ֗ר כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה שָׁל֕וֹשׁ אֲנִ֖י נֹטֶ֣ה עָלֶ֑יךָ בְּחַר אַחַ֥ת מֵהֵ֖נָּה וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה
  11. 11So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose theeוַיָּ֥בֹא גָ֖ד אֶל דָּוִ֑יד וַיֹּ֥אמֶר כֹּֽה אָמַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה קַבֶּל
  12. 12Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.אִם שָׁל֨וֹשׁ שָׁנִ֜ים רָעָ֗ב וְאִם שְׁלֹשָׁ֨ה חֳדָשִׁ֜ים נִסְפֶּ֥ה מִפְּנֵי צָרֶיךָ֮ וְחֶ֣רֶב אוֹיְבֶ֣ךָ לְמַשֶּׂגֶת֒ וְאִם שְׁלֹ֣שֶׁת יָ֠מִים חֶ֣רֶב יְהוָ֤ה וְדֶ֨בֶר֙ בָּאָ֔רֶץ וּמַלְאַ֣ךְ יְהוָ֔ה מַשְׁחִ֖ית בְּכָל גְּב֣וּל יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְעַתָּ֣ה רְאֵ֔ה מָֽה אָשִׁ֥יב אֶת שֹׁלְחִ֖י דָּבָֽר
  13. 13And David said unto 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 דָּוִ֛יד אֶל גָּ֖ד צַר מְאֹ֑ד אֶפְּלָה נָּ֣א בְיַד יְהוָ֗ה כִּֽי רַבִּ֤ים רַחֲמָיו֙ מְאֹ֔ד וּבְיַד אָדָ֖ם אַל אֶפֹּֽל
  14. 14So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.וַיִּתֵּ֧ן יְהוָ֛ה דֶּ֖בֶר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיִּפֹּל֙ מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֔ל שִׁבְעִ֥ים אֶ֖לֶף אִֽישׁ
  15. 15And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.וַיִּשְׁלַח֩ הָאֱלֹהִ֨ים מַלְאָ֥ךְ לִֽירוּשָׁלִַם֮ לְהַשְׁחִיתָהּ֒ וּכְהַשְׁחִ֗ית רָאָ֤ה יְהוָה֙ וַיִּנָּ֣חֶם עַל הָֽרָעָ֔ה וַיֹּ֨אמֶר לַמַּלְאָ֤ךְ הַמַּשְׁחִית֙ רַ֔ב עַתָּ֖ה הֶ֣רֶף יָדֶ֑ךָ וּמַלְאַ֤ךְ יְהוָה֙ עֹמֵ֔ד עִם גֹּ֖רֶן אָרְנָ֥ן הַיְבוּסִֽי
  16. 16And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.וַיִּשָּׂ֨א דָוִ֜יד אֶת עֵינָ֗יו וַיַּ֞רְא אֶת מַלְאַ֤ךְ יְהוָה֙ עֹמֵ֗ד בֵּ֤ין הָאָ֨רֶץ֙ וּבֵ֣ין הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְחַרְבּ֤וֹ שְׁלוּפָה֙ בְּיָד֔וֹ נְטוּיָ֖ה עַל יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וַיִּפֹּ֨ל דָּוִ֧יד וְהַזְּקֵנִ֛ים מְכֻסִּ֥ים בַּשַּׂקִּ֖ים עַל פְּנֵיהֶֽם
  17. 17And David said unto 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 thine 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 plagued.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֣יד אֶֽל הָאֱלֹהִ֡ים הֲלֹא֩ אֲנִ֨י אָמַ֜רְתִּי לִמְנ֣וֹת בָּעָ֗ם וַאֲנִי ה֤וּא אֲשֶׁר חָטָ֨אתִי֙ וְהָרֵ֣עַ הֲרֵע֔וֹתִי וְאֵ֥לֶּה הַצֹּ֖אן מֶ֣ה עָשׂ֑וּ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהַ֗י תְּהִ֨י נָ֤א יָֽדְךָ֙ וּבְבֵ֣ית אָבִ֔י וּֽבְעַמְּךָ֖ לֹ֥א לְמַגֵּפָֽה
  18. 18Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.וּמַלְאַ֧ךְ יְהוָ֛ה אָמַ֥ר אֶל גָּ֖ד לֵאמֹ֣ר לְדָוִ֑יד כִּ֣י יַעֲלֶ֣ה דָוִ֗יד לְהָקִ֤ים מִזְבֵּ֨חַ֙ לַיהוָ֔ה בְּגֹ֖רֶן אָרְנָ֥ן הַיְבֻסִֽי
  19. 19And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD.וַיַּ֤עַל דָּוִיד֙ בִּדְבַר גָּ֔ד אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבֶּ֖ר בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה
  20. 20And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.וַיָּ֣שָׁב אָרְנָ֗ן וַיַּרְא֙ אֶת הַמַּלְאָ֔ךְ וְאַרְבַּ֧עַת בָּנָ֛יו עִמּ֖וֹ מִֽתְחַבְּאִ֑ים וְאָרְנָ֖ן דָּ֥שׁ חִטִּֽים
  21. 21And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.וַיָּבֹ֥א דָוִ֖יד עַד אָרְנָ֑ן וַיַּבֵּ֤ט אָרְנָן֙ וַיַּ֣רְא אֶת דָּוִ֔יד וַיֵּצֵא֙ מִן הַגֹּ֔רֶן וַיִּשְׁתַּ֧חוּ לְדָוִ֛יד אַפַּ֖יִם אָֽרְצָה
  22. 22Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֜יד אֶל אָרְנָ֗ן תְּנָה מְק֣וֹם הַגֹּ֔רֶן וְאֶבְנֶה מִזְבֵּ֖חַ לַיהוָ֑ה בְּכֶ֤סֶף מָלֵא֙ תְּנֵ֣הוּ וְתֵעָצַ֥ר הַמַּגֵּפָ֖ה מֵעַ֥ל הָעָֽם
  23. 23And 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 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 אָרְנָ֤ן אֶל דָּוִיד֙ קַֽח וְיַ֛עַשׂ אֲדֹנִ֥י הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ הַטּ֣וֹב בְּעֵינָ֑יו רְאֵה֩ נָתַ֨תִּי הַבָּקָ֜ר לָֽעֹל֗וֹת וְהַמּוֹרִגִּ֧ים לָעֵצִ֛ים וְהַחִטִּ֥ים לַמִּנְחָ֖ה הַכֹּ֥ל נָתָֽתִּי
  24. 24And 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 the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ דָּוִיד֙ לְאָרְנָ֔ן לֹ֕א כִּֽי קָנֹ֥ה אֶקְנֶ֖ה בְּכֶ֣סֶף מָלֵ֑א כִּ֠י לֹא אֶשָּׂ֤א אֲשֶׁר לַיהוָ֔ה וְהַעֲל֥וֹת עוֹלָ֖ה חִנָּֽם
  25. 25So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.וַיִּתֵּ֥ן דָּוִ֛יד לְאָרְנָ֖ן בַּמָּק֑וֹם שִׁקְלֵ֣י זָהָ֔ב מִשְׁקָ֖ל שֵׁ֥שׁ מֵאֽוֹת
  26. 26And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.וַיִּבֶן֩ שָׁ֨ם דָּוִ֤יד מִזְבֵּ֨חַ֙ לַיהוָ֔ה וַיַּ֥עַל עֹל֖וֹת וּשְׁלָמִ֑ים וַיִּקְרָא֙ אֶל יְהוָ֔ה וַיַּֽעֲנֵ֤הוּ בָאֵשׁ֙ מִן הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם עַ֖ל מִזְבַּ֥ח הָעֹלָֽה
  27. 27And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ לַמַּלְאָ֔ךְ וַיָּ֥שֶׁב חַרְבּ֖וֹ אֶל נְדָנָֽהּ
  28. 28At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֔יא בִּרְא֤וֹת דָּוִיד֙ כִּי עָנָ֣הוּ יְהוָ֔ה בְּגֹ֖רֶן אָרְנָ֣ן הַיְבוּסִ֑י וַיִּזְבַּ֖ח שָֽׁם
  29. 29For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon.וּמִשְׁכַּ֣ן יְ֠הוָה אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂ֨ה מֹשֶׁ֧ה בַמִּדְבָּ֛ר וּמִזְבַּ֥ח הָעוֹלָ֖ה בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֑יא בַּבָּמָ֖ה בְּגִבְעֽוֹן
  30. 30But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.וְלֹא יָכֹ֥ל דָּוִ֛יד לָלֶ֥כֶת לְפָנָ֖יו לִדְרֹ֣שׁ אֱלֹהִ֑ים כִּ֣י נִבְעַ֔ת מִפְּנֵ֕י חֶ֖רֶב מַלְאַ֥ךְ יְהוָֽה
