David goes up to the threshing floor of Ornan and gives six hundred shekels of gold for the place

다윗이 오르난의 타작마당에 올라가 그 기지 값으로 금 육백 세겔을 줌

1 Chronicles 21:18–25: the text says, “Then the LORD’s angel commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up and raise an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the LORD’s name. Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.” David says to Ornan, “Sell me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to the LORD on it. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.” Ornan says to David, “Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Behold, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all.” King David says to Ornan, “No, but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for the LORD, nor offer a burnt offering that costs me nothing.” So David gives to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place. The Korean Revised Version gives the angel’s command at 21:18 in the words spoken (올라가서 여부스 사람 오르난의 타작마당에서 여호와를 위하여 단을 쌓으라, go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite); at 21:20 it says that Ornan, threshing wheat, turned, saw the angel and hid with his four sons (네 아들과 함께 숨었더니); it reads 이 타작하는 곳 (this threshing place) at 21:22 and 곡식 떠는 기계는 화목으로 (the threshing instruments as firewood) at 21:23; and at 21:25 it names no giver, its sentence running on from 다윗왕 (King David) in 21:24.

Current wording: 1 Chronicles 21:18–25: the text says, “Then the LORD’s angel commanded Gad to tell David that David should go up and raise an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the LORD’s name. Ornan turned back and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing floor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.” David says to Ornan, “Sell me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar to the LORD on it. You shall sell it to me for the full price, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.” Ornan says to David, “Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Behold, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all.” King David says to Ornan, “No, but I will most certainly buy it for the full price. For I will not take that which is yours for the LORD, nor offer a burnt offering that costs me nothing.” So David gives to Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place. The Korean Revised Version gives the angel’s command at 21:18 in the words spoken (올라가서 여부스 사람 오르난의 타작마당에서 여호와를 위하여 단을 쌓으라, go up and build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite); at 21:20 it says that Ornan, threshing wheat, turned, saw the angel and hid with his four sons (네 아들과 함께 숨었더니); it reads 이 타작하는 곳 (this threshing place) at 21:22 and 곡식 떠는 기계는 화목으로 (the threshing instruments as firewood) at 21:23; and at 21:25 it names no giver, its sentence running on from 다윗왕 (King David) in 21:24.
