1 Chronicles 21:22 in Context — 1 Chronicles 21

20 Ornan se retourna et vit l’ange, et ses quatre fils se cachèrent avec lui: il foulait alors du froment.

21 Lorsque David arriva auprès d’Ornan, Ornan regarda, et il aperçut David; puis il sortit de l’aire, et se prosterna devant David, le visage contre terre.

22 David dit à Ornan: Cède-moi l’emplacement de l’aire pour que j’y bâtisse un autel à l’Éternel; cède-le-moi contre sa valeur en argent, afin que la plaie se retire de dessus le peuple.

23 Ornan répondit à David: Prends-le, et que mon seigneur le roi fasse ce qui lui semblera bon; vois, je donne les bœufs pour l’holocauste, les chars pour le bois, et le froment pour l’offrande, je donne tout cela.

24 Mais le roi David dit à Ornan: Non! Je veux l’acheter contre sa valeur en argent, car je ne présenterai point à l’Éternel ce qui est à toi, et je n’offrirai point un holocauste qui ne me coûte rien.
