Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Ornan in the Strong's Greek concordance, as it is a specific name related to a historical figure in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The name Ornan appears in the context of the narrative involving King David's purchase of the threshing floor, which later became the site for Solomon's Temple. Ornan is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 21:15-28.

Context: Ornan, also known as Araunah, was a Jebusite who owned a threshing floor on Mount Moriah, the future site of the Temple in Jerusalem. During a divine judgment upon Israel, King David was instructed by the prophet Gad to erect an altar to the LORD on Ornan's threshing floor to halt a plague. Ornan, recognizing the significance of the event and the presence of the angel of the LORD, offered the site to David for free, along with oxen for burnt offerings and threshing sledges for wood. However, David insisted on purchasing the site at full price, stating, "I will not take for the LORD what is yours, nor offer burnt offerings that cost me nothing" (1 Chronicles 21:24, BSB). This act of faith and obedience by David not only stopped the plague but also established the location for the future Temple, a central place of worship for Israel. Ornan's interaction with David highlights themes of sacrifice, obedience, and the importance of consecrated spaces in worship.
