1 Chronicles 21:21-22

21:21 When David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David; he came out from the threshing floor and bowed to David with his face ¹  to the ground. 21:22 David said to Ornan, “Sell me the threshing floor ²  so I can build ³  on it an altar for the Lord – I’ll pay top price ⁴  – so that the plague may be removed ⁵  from the people.”

[21:21]  ¹ tn Heb “nostrils.”

[21:22]  ² tn Heb “the place of the threshing floor.”

[21:22]  ³ tn Following the imperative, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive here indicates the immediate purpose/result: “so I can build.”

[21:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “For full silver sell to me.”

[21:22]  ⁵ tn Following the imperative and first person prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive, this third person prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive introduces the ultimate purpose/result: “so the plague may be removed.” Another option is subordinate this form to the preceding imperative, but the latter may be taken as a parenthetical expansion of the initial request.
