1. וַיֹּסֶף אַף־יְהוָה לַחֲרוֹת בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וַיָּסֶת אֶת־דָּוִד בָּהֶם לֵאמֹר לֵךְ מְנֵה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאֶת־יְהוּדָה ׃
|
1. And again H3254 the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 was kindled H2734 against Israel H3478 , and he moved H5496 H853 David H1732 against them to say H559 , Go H1980 , number H4487 H853 Israel H3478 and Judah H3063 .
|
2. וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־יוֹאָב שַׂר־הַחַיִל אֲשֶׁר־אִתּוֹ שׁוּט־נָא בְּכָל־שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִדָּן וְעַד־בְּאֵר שֶׁבַע וּפִקְדוּ אֶת־הָעָם וְיָדַעְתִּי אֵת מִסְפַּר הָעָם ׃ ס
|
2. For the king H4428 said H559 to H413 Joab H3097 the captain H8269 of the host H2428 , which H834 was with H854 him, Go H7751 now H4994 through all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 , from Dan H4480 H1835 even to H5704 Beer H884 -sheba , and number H6485 ye H853 the people H5971 , that I may know H3045 H853 the number H4557 of the people H5971 .
|
3. וַיֹּאמֶר יוֹאָב אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וְיוֹסֵף יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֶל־הָעָם כָּהֵם וְכָהֵם מֵאָה פְעָמִים וְעֵינֵי אֲדֹנִי־הַמֶּלֶךְ רֹאוֹת וַאדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ לָמָּה חָפֵץ בַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה ׃
|
3. And Joab H3097 said H559 unto H413 the king H4428 , Now the LORD H3068 thy God H430 add H3254 unto H413 the people H5971 , how many soever they be H1992 H1992 a hundredfold H3967 H6471 , and that the eyes H5869 of my lord H113 the king H4428 may see H7200 it : but why H4100 doth my lord H113 the king H4428 delight H2654 in this H2088 thing H1697 ?
|
4. וַיֶּחֱזַק דְּבַר־הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־יוֹאָב וְעַל שָׂרֵי הֶחָיִל וַיֵּצֵא יוֹאָב וְשָׂרֵי הַחַיִל לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ לִפְקֹד אֶת־הָעָם אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל ׃
|
4. Notwithstanding the king H4428 's word H1697 prevailed H2388 against H413 Joab H3097 , and against H5921 the captains H8269 of the host H2428 . And Joab H3097 and the captains H8269 of the host H2428 went out H3318 from the presence H6440 of the king H4428 , to number H6485 H853 the people H5971 of Israel H3478 .
|
5. וַיַּעַבְרוּ אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן וַיַּחֲנוּ בַעֲרוֹעֵר יְמִין הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר בְּתוֹךְ־הַנַּחַל הַגָּד וְאֶל־יַעְזֵר ׃
|
5. And they passed over H5674 H853 Jordan H3383 , and pitched H2583 in Aroer H6177 , on the right side H3225 of the city H5892 that H834 lieth in the midst H8432 of the river H5158 of Gad H1410 , and toward H413 Jazer H3270 :
|
6. וַיָּבֹאוּ הַגִּלְעָדָה וְאֶל־אֶרֶץ תַּחְתִּים חָדְשִׁי וַיָּבֹאוּ דָּנָה יַּעַן וְסָבִיב אֶל־צִידוֹן ׃
|
6. Then they came H935 to Gilead H1568 , and to H413 the land H776 of Tahtim H8483 -hodshi ; and they came H935 to Dan H1842 -jaan , and about H5439 to H413 Zidon H6721 ,
|
7. וַיָּבֹאוּ מִבְצַר־צֹר וְכָל־עָרֵי הַחִוִּי וְהַכְּנַעֲנִי וַיֵּצְאוּ אֶל־נֶגֶב יְהוּדָה בְּאֵר שָׁבַע ׃
|
7. And came H935 to the stronghold H4013 of Tyre H6865 , and to all H3605 the cities H5892 of the Hivites H2340 , and of the Canaanites H3669 : and they went out H3318 to H413 the south H5045 of Judah H3063 , even to Beer H884 -sheba.
|
8. וַיָּשֻׁטוּ בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ וַיָּבֹאוּ מִקְצֵה תִשְׁעָה חֳדָשִׁים וְעֶשְׂרִים יוֹם יְרוּשָׁלִָם ׃
|
8. So when they had gone H7751 through all H3605 the land H776 , they came H935 to Jerusalem H3389 at the end H4480 H7097 of nine H8672 months H2320 and twenty H6242 days H3117 .
|
9. וַיִּתֵּן יוֹאָב אֶת־מִסְפַּר מִפְקַד־הָעָם אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וַתְּהִי יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁמֹנֶה מֵאוֹת אֶלֶף אִישׁ־חַיִל שֹׁלֵף חֶרֶב וְאִישׁ יְהוּדָה חֲמֵשׁ־מֵאוֹת אֶלֶף אִישׁ ׃
|
9. And Joab H3097 gave up H5414 H853 the sum H4557 of the number H4662 of the people H5971 unto H413 the king H4428 : and there were H1961 in Israel H3478 eight H8083 hundred H3967 thousand H505 valiant H2428 men H376 that drew H8025 the sword H2719 ; and the men H376 of Judah H3063 were five H2568 hundred H3967 thousand H505 men H376 .
|
10. וַיַּךְ לֵב־דָּוִד אֹתוֹ אַחֲרֵי־כֵן סָפַר אֶת־הָעָם ס וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל־יְהוָה חָטָאתִי מְאֹד אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי וְעַתָּה יְהוָה הַעֲבֶר־נָא אֶת־עֲוֹן עַבְדְּךָ כִּי נִסְכַּלְתִּי מְאֹד ׃
|
10. And David H1732 's heart H3820 smote H5221 him after H310 that H3651 he had numbered H5608 H853 the people H5971 . And David H1732 said H559 unto H413 the LORD H3068 , I have sinned H2398 greatly H3966 in that H834 I have done H6213 : and now H6258 , I beseech thee H4994 , O LORD H3068 , take away H5674 H853 the iniquity H5771 of thy servant H5650 ; for H3588 I have done very H3966 foolishly H5528 .
|
11. וַיָּקָם דָּוִד בַּבֹּקֶר פ וּדְבַר־יְהוָה הָיָה אֶל־גָּד הַנָּבִיא חֹזֵה דָוִד לֵאמֹר ׃
|
11. For when David H1732 was up H6965 in the morning H1242 , the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 the prophet H5030 Gad H1410 , David H1732 's seer H2374 , saying H559 ,
|
12. הָלוֹךְ וְדִבַּרְתָּ אֶל־דָּוִד כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה שָׁלֹשׁ אָנֹכִי נוֹטֵל עָלֶיךָ בְּחַר־לְךָ אַחַת־מֵהֶם וְאֶעֱשֶׂה־לָּךְ ׃
|
12. Go H1980 and say H559 unto H413 David H1732 , Thus H3541 saith H1696 the LORD H3068 , I H595 offer H5190 H5921 thee three H7969 things ; choose H977 thee one H259 of H4480 them , that I may do H6213 it unto thee.
|
13. וַיָּבֹא־גָד אֶל־דָּוִד וַיַּגֶּד־לוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ הֲתָבוֹא לְךָ שֶׁבַע שָׁנִים רָעָב בְּאַרְצֶךָ אִם־שְׁלֹשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים נֻסְךָ לִפְנֵי־צָרֶיךָ וְהוּא רֹדְפֶךָ וְאִם־הֱיוֹת שְׁלֹשֶׁת יָמִים דֶּבֶר בְּאַרְצֶךָ עַתָּה דַּע וּרְאֵה מָה־אָשִׁיב שֹׁלְחִי דָּבָר ׃ ס
|
13. So Gad H1410 came H935 to H413 David H1732 , and told H5046 him , and said H559 unto him , Shall seven H7651 years H8141 of famine H7458 come H935 unto thee in thy land H776 ? or H518 wilt thou flee H5127 three H7969 months H2320 before H6440 thine enemies H6862 , while they H1931 pursue H7291 thee? or H518 that there be H1961 three H7969 days H3117 ' pestilence H1698 in thy land H776 ? now H6258 advise H3045 , and see H7200 what H4100 answer H1697 I shall return H7725 to him that sent H7971 me.
|
14. וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל־גָּד צַר־לִי מְאֹד נִפְּלָה־נָּא בְיַד־יְהוָה כִּי־רַבִּים רַחֲמוֹ וּבְיַד־אָדָם אַל־אֶפֹּלָה ׃
|
14. And David H1732 said H559 unto H413 Gad H1410 , I am in a great H3966 strait H6862 : let us fall H5307 now H4994 into the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 ; for H3588 his mercies H7356 are great H7227 : and let me not H408 fall H5307 into the hand H3027 of man H120 .
|
15. וַיִּתֵּן יְהוָה דֶּבֶר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל מֵהַבֹּקֶר וְעַד־עֵת מוֹעֵד וַיָּמָת מִן־הָעָם מִדָּן וְעַד־בְּאֵר שֶׁבַע שִׁבְעִים אֶלֶף אִישׁ ׃
|
15. So the LORD H3068 sent H5414 a pestilence H1698 upon Israel H3478 from the morning H1242 even to H5704 the time H6256 appointed H4150 : and there died H4191 of H4480 the people H5971 from Dan H4480 H1835 even to H5704 Beer H884 -sheba seventy H7657 thousand H505 men H376 .
|
16. וַיִּשְׁלַח יָדוֹ הַמַּלְאָךְ יְרוּשָׁלַםִ לְשַׁחֲתָהּ וַיִּנָּחֶם יְהוָה אֶל־הָרָעָה וַיֹּאמֶר לַמַּלְאָךְ הַמַּשְׁחִית בָּעָם רַב עַתָּה הֶרֶף יָדֶךָ וּמַלְאַךְ יְהוָה הָיָה עִם־גֹּרֶן הָאוֹרְנָה הַיְבֻסִי ׃
|
16. And when the angel H4397 stretched out H7971 his hand H3027 upon Jerusalem H3389 to destroy H7843 it , the LORD H3068 repented him H5162 of H413 the evil H7451 , and said H559 to the angel H4397 that destroyed H7843 the people H5971 , It is enough H7227 : stay H7503 now H6258 thine hand H3027 . And the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 was H1961 by H5973 the threshingplace H1637 of Araunah H728 the Jebusite H2983 .
|
17. ס וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל־יְהוָה בִּרְאֹתוֹ אֶת־הַמַּלְאָךְ הַמַּכֶּה בָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי חָטָאתִי וְאָנֹכִי הֶעֱוֵיתִי וְאֵלֶּה הַצֹּאן מֶה עָשׂוּ תְּהִי נָא יָדְךָ בִּי וּבְבֵית אָבִי ׃ פ
|
17. And David H1732 spoke H559 unto H413 the LORD H3068 when he saw H7200 H853 the angel H4397 that smote H5221 the people H5971 , and said H559 , Lo H2009 , I H595 have sinned H2398 , and I H595 have done wickedly H5753 : but these H428 sheep H6629 , what H4100 have they done H6213 ? let thine hand H3027 , I pray thee H4994 , be H1961 against me , and against my father H1 's house H1004 .
|
18. וַיָּבֹא־גָד אֶל־דָּוִד בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ עֲלֵה הָקֵם לַיהוָה מִזְבֵּחַ בְּגֹרֶן אָרָנְיָה הַיְבֻסִי ׃
|
18. And Gad H1410 came H935 that H1931 day H3117 to H413 David H1732 , and said H559 unto him , Go up H5927 , rear H6965 an altar H4196 unto the LORD H3068 in the threshingfloor H1637 of Araunah H728 the Jebusite H2983 .
|
19. וַיַּעַל דָּוִד כִּדְבַר־גָּד כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה ׃
|
19. And David H1732 , according to the saying H1697 of Gad H1410 , went up H5927 as H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 .
|
20. וַיַּשְׁקֵף אֲרַוְנָה וַיַּרְא אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֶת־עֲבָדָיו עֹבְרִים עָלָיו וַיֵּצֵא אֲרַוְנָה וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ לַמֶּלֶךְ אַפָּיו אָרְצָה ׃
|
20. And Araunah H728 looked H8259 , and saw H7200 H853 the king H4428 and his servants H5650 coming on H5674 toward H5921 him : and Araunah H728 went out H3318 , and bowed himself H7812 before the king H4428 on his face H639 upon the ground H776 .
|
21. וַיֹּאמֶר אֲרַוְנָה מַדּוּעַ בָּא אֲדֹנִי־הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־עַבְדּוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד לִקְנוֹת מֵעִמְּךָ אֶת־הַגֹּרֶן לִבְנוֹת מִזְבֵּחַ לַיהוָה וְתֵעָצַר הַמַּגֵּפָה מֵעַל הָעָם ׃
|
21. And Araunah H728 said H559 , Wherefore H4069 is my lord H113 the king H4428 come H935 to H413 his servant H5650 ? And David H1732 said H559 , To buy H7069 H853 the threshingfloor H1637 of H4480 H5973 thee , to build H1129 an altar H4196 unto the LORD H3068 , that the plague H4046 may be stayed H6113 from H4480 H5921 the people H5971 .
|
22. וַיֹּאמֶר אֲרַוְנָה אֶל־דָּוִד יִקַּח וְיַעַל אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ הַטּוֹב בְּעַיְנוֹ רְאֵה הַבָּקָר לָעֹלָה וְהַמֹּרִגִּים וּכְלֵי הַבָּקָר לָעֵצִים ׃
|
22. And Araunah H728 said H559 unto H413 David H1732 , Let my lord H113 the king H4428 take H3947 and offer up H5927 what seemeth good H2896 unto him H5869 : behold H7200 , here be oxen H1241 for burnt sacrifice H5930 , and threshing instruments H4173 and other instruments H3627 of the oxen H1241 for wood H6086 .
|
23. הַכֹּל נָתַן אֲרַוְנָה הַמֶּלֶךְ לַמֶּלֶךְ ס וַיֹּאמֶר אֲרַוְנָה אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ יִרְצֶךָ ׃
|
23. All H3605 these things did Araunah H728 , as a king H4428 , give H5414 unto H413 the king H4428 . And Araunah H728 said H559 unto the king H4428 , The LORD H3068 thy God H430 accept H7521 thee.
|
24. וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־אֲרַוְנָה לֹא כִּי־קָנוֹ אֶקְנֶה מֵאוֹתְךָ בִּמְחִיר וְלֹא אַעֲלֶה לַיהוָה אֱלֹהַי עֹלוֹת חִנָּם וַיִּקֶן דָּוִד אֶת־הַגֹּרֶן וְאֶת־הַבָּקָר בְּכֶסֶף שְׁקָלִים חֲמִשִּׁים ׃
|
24. And the king H4428 said H559 unto H413 Araunah H728 , Nay H3808 ; but H3588 I will surely buy H7069 H7069 it of H4480 H854 thee at a price H4242 : neither H3808 will I offer H5927 burnt offerings H5930 unto the LORD H3068 my God H430 of that which H834 doth cost me nothing H2600 . So David H1732 bought H7069 H853 the threshingfloor H1637 and the oxen H1241 for fifty H2572 shekels H8255 of silver H3701 .
|
25. וַיִּבֶן שָׁם דָּוִד מִזְבֵּחַ לַיהוָה וַיַּעַל עֹלוֹת וּשְׁלָמִים וַיֵּעָתֵר יְהוָה לָאָרֶץ וַתֵּעָצַר הַמַּגֵּפָה מֵעַל יִשְׂרָאֵל ׃
|
25. And David H1732 built H1129 there H8033 an altar H4196 unto the LORD H3068 , and offered H5927 burnt offerings H5930 and peace offerings H8002 . So the LORD H3068 was entreated H6279 for the land H776 , and the plague H4046 was stayed H6113 from H4480 H5921 Israel H3478 .
