1 Chronicles

Chapter 21

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּaֽ'amo֥d shsata֖n 'al-yishsera'e֑l vayּa֨set֙ 'et-dּavi֔yd limen֖ot 'et-yishsera'eֽl׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Now Satan [1] stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.

וַיַּֽעֲמֹ֥ד שָׂטָ֖ן עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיָּ֨סֶת֙ אֶת־דָּוִ֔יד לִמְנ֖וֹת אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּo֨'mer dּavi֤yd 'el-yo'ab֙ ve'el-shsare֣y ha'a֔m lek֗u siperu֙ 'et-yishsera'e֔l mibּe'e֥r shshe֖ba ve'ad-dּa֑n vehabi֣y'u 'ela֔y ve'ede'a֖h 'et-misepּaraֽm׃

Edified Edition (EDE)So David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people, "Go, number Israel from Beersheba to Dan, and bring the count to me that I may know it."

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֤יד אֶל־יוֹאָב֙ וְאֶל־שָׂרֵ֣י הָעָ֔ם לְכ֗וּ סִפְרוּ֙ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מִבְּאֵ֥ר שֶׁ֖בַע וְעַד־דָּ֑ן וְהָבִ֣יאוּ אֵלַ֔י וְאֵדְעָ֖ה אֶת־מִסְפָּרָֽם׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּo֣'mer yo'a֗b yosep֩ yehva֨h 'al-'amּ֤o ׀ kּahem֙ me'a֣h pe'ami֔ym halo'֙ 'adoni֣y hamּe֔leke kּulּa֥m la'doni֖y la'abadi֑ym la֣mּah yebaqּe֥shsh zo't֙ 'adoni֔y la֛mּah yiheye֥h le'ashshema֖h leyishsera'eֽl׃

Edified Edition (EDE)And Joab answered, "May the LORD make His people a hundred times more than they are. But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? Why then does my lord require this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt in Israel?"

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יוֹאָ֗ב יוֹסֵף֩ יְהוָ֨ה עַל־עַמּ֤וֹ ׀ כָּהֵם֙ מֵאָ֣ה פְעָמִ֔ים הֲלֹא֙ אֲדֹנִ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ כֻּלָּ֥ם לַאדֹנִ֖י לַעֲבָדִ֑ים לָ֣מָּה יְבַקֵּ֥שׁ זֹאת֙ אֲדֹנִ֔י לָ֛מָּה יִהְיֶ֥ה לְאַשְׁמָ֖ה לְיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): udebar-hamּe֖leke chaza֣q 'al-yo'a֑b vayּetze֣ yo'a֗b vayּitehalּeke֙ bּekal-yishsera'e֔l vayּabo֖ yerushshalaiֽm׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came to Jerusalem.

וּדְבַר־הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ חָזַ֣ק עַל־יוֹאָ֑ב וַיֵּצֵ֣א יוֹאָ֗ב וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ֙ בְּכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיָּבֹ֖א יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּitּe֥n yo'a֛b 'et-misepּa֥r mipeqad-ha'a֖m 'el-dּavi֑yd vayehi֣y kaֽl-yishsera'e֡l 'e֣lep 'alapiym֩ ume'a֨h 'e֤lep 'iyshsh֙ shsho֣leֽp che֔reb viֽyhuda֕h 'arebּa'֩ me'֨ot veshshibe'i֥ym 'e֛lep 'i֖yshsh shsho֥leֽp chaֽreb׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. All Israel had one million one hundred thousand men who drew the sword, and Judah had four hundred and seventy thousand men who drew the 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׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): veleviy֙ ubineyami֔n lo֥ paqa֖d bּetoka֑m kּiֽy-nite'a֥b dּebar-hamּe֖leke 'et-yo'aֽb׃

Edified Edition (EDE)But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.

וְלֵוִי֙ וּבִנְיָמִ֔ן לֹ֥א פָקַ֖ד בְּתוֹכָ֑ם כִּֽי־נִתְעַ֥ב דְּבַר־הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ אֶת־יוֹאָֽב׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּe֨ra'֙ bּe'eyne֣y ha'elohi֔ym 'al-hadּaba֖r hazּe֑h vayּa֖ke 'et-yishsera'eֽl׃p

Edified Edition (EDE)And God was displeased with this thing; therefore He struck Israel.

וַיֵּ֨רַע֙ בְּעֵינֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים עַל־הַדָּבָ֖ר הַזֶּ֑ה וַיַּ֖ךְ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃פ

Edified Edition (EDE)So David said to God, "I have sinned greatly because I have done this thing; but now, I beg You, take away the iniquity of Your 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׃פ

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayedabּe֤r yehvah֙ 'el-gּa֔d choze֥h davi֖yd le'moֽr׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Then the LORD spoke to Gad, David’s seer, saying,

וַיְדַבֵּ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־גָּ֔ד חֹזֵ֥ה דָוִ֖יד לֵאמֹֽר׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): leke֩ vedibּaretּa֨ 'el-dּavi֜yd le'mo֗r kּo֚h 'ama֣r yehva֔h shshal֕oshsh 'ani֖y note֣h 'ale֑yka bּechar-leka֛ 'acha֥t mehe֖nּah ve'eֽ'eshseh-lּaֽke׃

Edified Edition (EDE)"Go and tell David, saying, 'Thus says the LORD: "I offer you three things; choose one of them for yourself, that I may do it to you."

לֵךְ֩ וְדִבַּרְתָּ֨ אֶל־דָּוִ֜יד לֵאמֹ֗ר כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה שָׁל֕וֹשׁ אֲנִ֖י נֹטֶ֣ה עָלֶ֑יךָ בְּחַר־לְךָ֛ אַחַ֥ת מֵהֵ֖נָּה וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה־לָּֽךְ׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּa֥bo ga֖d 'el-dּavi֑yd vayּo֥'mer l֛o kּoֽh-'ama֥r yehva֖h qabּel-laֽke׃

Edified Edition (EDE)So Gad came to David and said to him, "Thus says the LORD: 'Choose for yourself,

וַיָּ֥בֹא גָ֖ד אֶל־דָּוִ֑יד וַיֹּ֥אמֶר ל֛וֹ כֹּֽה־אָמַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה קַבֶּל־לָֽךְ׃

Edified Edition (EDE)either three years of famine, or three months to be defeated before your foes with the sword of your enemies overtaking you, or else three days of the sword of the LORD, the plague in the land, with the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the territory of Israel." Now therefore consider what answer I should bring back to Him who 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׃פ

Edified Edition (EDE)And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."

וַיֹּ֧אמֶר דָּוִ֛יד אֶל־גָּ֖ד צַר־לִ֣י מְאֹ֑ד אֶפְּלָה־נָּ֣א בְיַד־יְהוָ֗ה כִּֽי־רַבִּ֤ים רַחֲמָיו֙ מְאֹ֔ד וּבְיַד־אָדָ֖ם אַל־אֶפֹּֽל׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּitּe֧n yehva֛h dּe֖ber bּeyishsera'e֑l vayּipּol֙ miyּishsera'e֔l shshibe'i֥ym 'e֖lep 'iֽyshsh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.

וַיִּתֵּ֧ן יְהוָ֛ה דֶּ֖בֶר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיִּפֹּל֙ מִיִּשְׂרָאֵ֔ל שִׁבְעִ֥ים אֶ֖לֶף אִֽישׁ׃

Edified Edition (EDE)And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was destroying, the LORD looked and relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who was destroying, "It is enough; now stay your hand." And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing floor 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׃ס

Edified Edition (EDE)Then David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD standing between earth and heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. So David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on 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׃

Edified Edition (EDE)And David said to God, "Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, O LORD my God, be against me and my father’s house, but not against Your 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 בִּ֚י וּבְבֵ֣ית אָבִ֔י וּֽבְעַמְּךָ֖ לֹ֥א לְמַגֵּפָֽה׃ס

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David that David should go up and erect an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

וּמַלְאַ֧ךְ יְהוָ֛ה אָמַ֥ר אֶל־גָּ֖ד לֵאמֹ֣ר לְדָוִ֑יד כִּ֣י ׀ יַעֲלֶ֣ה דָוִ֗יד לְהָקִ֤ים מִזְבֵּ֨חַ֙ לַיהוָ֔ה בְּגֹ֖רֶן אָרְנָ֥ן הַיְבֻסִֽי׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּa֤'al dּaviyd֙ bּidebar-gּa֔d 'ashshe֥r dּibּe֖r bּeshshe֥m yehvaֽh׃

Edified Edition (EDE)So David went up at the word of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of the LORD.

וַיַּ֤עַל דָּוִיד֙ בִּדְבַר־גָּ֔ד אֲשֶׁ֥ר דִּבֶּ֖ר בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Now Ornan turned and saw the angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves, but Ornan continued threshing wheat.

וַיָּ֣שָׁב אָרְנָ֗ן וַיַּרְא֙ אֶת־הַמַּלְאָ֔ךְ וְאַרְבַּ֧עַת בָּנָ֛יו עִמּ֖וֹ מִֽתְחַבְּאִ֑ים וְאָרְנָ֖ן דָּ֥שׁ חִטִּֽים׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Then as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and he went out from the threshing floor and bowed down to David with his face to the ground.

וַיָּבֹ֥א דָוִ֖יד עַד־אָרְנָ֑ן וַיַּבֵּ֤ט אָרְנָן֙ וַיַּ֣רְא אֶת־דָּוִ֔יד וַיֵּצֵא֙ מִן־הַגֹּ֔רֶן וַיִּשְׁתַּ֧חוּ לְדָוִ֛יד אַפַּ֖יִם אָֽרְצָה׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Then David said to Ornan, "Grant me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar on it to the LORD. You shall grant it to me for the full price, that the plague may be withdrawn from the people."

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֜יד אֶל־אָרְנָ֗ן תְּנָה־לִּי֙ מְק֣וֹם הַגֹּ֔רֶן וְאֶבְנֶה־בּ֥וֹ מִזְבֵּ֖חַ לַיהוָ֑ה בְּכֶ֤סֶף מָלֵא֙ תְּנֵ֣הוּ לִ֔י וְתֵעָצַ֥ר הַמַּגֵּפָ֖ה מֵעַ֥ל הָעָֽם׃

Edified Edition (EDE)But Ornan said to David, "Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes. Look, I also give you the oxen for burnt offerings, the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the grain offering; I give it all."

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אָרְנָ֤ן אֶל־דָּוִיד֙ קַֽח־לָ֔ךְ וְיַ֛עַשׂ אֲדֹנִ֥י הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ הַטּ֣וֹב בְּעֵינָ֑יו רְאֵה֩ נָתַ֨תִּי הַבָּקָ֜ר לָֽעֹל֗וֹת וְהַמּוֹרִגִּ֧ים לָעֵצִ֛ים וְהַחִטִּ֥ים לַמִּנְחָ֖ה הַכֹּ֥ל נָתָֽתִּי׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Then King David said to Ornan, "No, but I will surely buy it for the full price; for I will not take what is yours for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings with that which cost me nothing."

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ דָּוִיד֙ לְאָרְנָ֔ן לֹ֕א כִּֽי־קָנֹ֥ה אֶקְנֶ֖ה בְּכֶ֣סֶף מָלֵ֑א כִּ֠י לֹא־אֶשָּׂ֤א אֲשֶׁר־לְךָ֙ לַיהוָ֔ה וְהַעֲל֥וֹת עוֹלָ֖ה חִנָּֽם׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּitּe֥n dּavi֛yd le'arena֖n bּamּaq֑om shshiqele֣y zaha֔b mishsheqa֖l shshe֥shsh me'ֽot׃

Edified Edition (EDE)So David gave Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place.

וַיִּתֵּ֥ן דָּוִ֛יד לְאָרְנָ֖ן בַּמָּק֑וֹם שִׁקְלֵ֣י זָהָ֔ב מִשְׁקָ֖ל שֵׁ֥שׁ מֵאֽוֹת׃

Edified Edition (EDE)And David built there an altar to the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and He answered him from heaven by fire on the altar of burnt offering.

וַיִּבֶן֩ שָׁ֨ם דָּוִ֤יד מִזְבֵּ֨חַ֙ לַיהוָ֔ה וַיַּ֥עַל עֹל֖וֹת וּשְׁלָמִ֑ים וַיִּקְרָא֙ אֶל־יְהוָ֔ה וַיַּֽעֲנֵ֤הוּ בָאֵשׁ֙ מִן־הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם עַ֖ל מִזְבַּ֥ח הָעֹלָֽה׃פ

Phonetic (Hebrew): vayּo֤'mer yehvah֙ lamּale'a֔ke vayּa֥shsheb charebּ֖o 'el-nedanaֽhּ׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Then the LORD commanded the angel, and he returned his sword into its sheath.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ לַמַּלְאָ֔ךְ וַיָּ֥שֶׁב חַרְבּ֖וֹ אֶל־נְדָנָֽהּ׃

Edified Edition (EDE)At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there.

בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֔יא בִּרְא֤וֹת דָּוִיד֙ כִּי־עָנָ֣הוּ יְהוָ֔ה בְּגֹ֖רֶן אָרְנָ֣ן הַיְבוּסִ֑י וַיִּזְבַּ֖ח שָֽׁם׃

Edified Edition (EDE)For the tabernacle of the LORD which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering, were at that time at the high place in Gibeon.

וּמִשְׁכַּ֣ן יְ֠הוָה אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֨ה מֹשֶׁ֧ה בַמִּדְבָּ֛ר וּמִזְבַּ֥ח הָעוֹלָ֖ה בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֑יא בַּבָּמָ֖ה בְּגִבְעֽוֹן׃

Edified Edition (EDE)But David could not go before it to inquire 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׃ס
