18 And the angel of Yah Veh says to Gad to say to David, that David ascend and raise a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Yebusiy.
19 And David ascends at the word Gad words in the name of Yah Veh:
20 and Ornan turns back and sees the angel; and his four sons with him hide themselves: and Ornan threshes wheat:
21 and David comes to Ornan; and Ornan looks and sees David and goes from the threshingfloor and bows himself to David with his nostrils to the earth.
22 And David says to Ornan, Give me the place of the threshingfloor to build a sacrifice altar therein to Yah Veh - give it me for the full silver: to restrain the plague from the people.
23 And Ornan says to David, Take it to yourself and may my adoni the sovereign work what is good in his eyes: see, I give you the oxen for holocausts and the threshing sledges for timber and the wheat for the offering - I give all.
24 And sovereign David says to Ornan, No; but in chatteling, I chattel it for the full silver: for neither lift I what is yours for Yah Veh, nor holocaust holocausts gratuitously.
25 And David gives Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place:
26 and there David builds a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh and holocausted holocausts and shelamim; and calls on Yah Veh. - and he answers him from the heavens by fire on the sacrifice altar of holocaust.
27 And Yah Veh says to the angel; and he turns his sword back into its sheath:
28 at that time David sees that Yah Veh answers him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Yebusiy: and he sacrifices there.
