1And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David (Dawad) to number Israel. 2And David (Dawad) said to Joab and to the princes of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them. 3And Joab said, تتراجراماتون make his people a hundred times as many as they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Israel? 4Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 5And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto David (Dawad). And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword. 6But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them; for the king’s word was abominable to Joab.

7And Elokim was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. 8And David (Dawad) said unto Elokim, I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing: but now put away, I beseech thee, the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

9And تتراجراماتون spoke unto Gad, David’s seer, saying, 10Go and speak unto David (Dawad), saying, Thus saith تتراجراماتون, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. 11So Gad came to David (Dawad), and said unto him, Thus saith تتراجراماتون, Take which thou wilt: 12either three years of famine; or three months to be consumed before thy foes, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of تتراجراماتون, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of تتراجراماتون destroying throughout all the borders of Israel. Now therefore consider what answer I shall return to him that sent me. 13And David (Dawad) said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall, I pray, into the hand of تتراجراماتون; for very great are his mercies: and let me not fall into the hand of man.

14So تتراجراماتون sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men. 15And Elokim sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was about to destroy, تتراجراماتون beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the destroying angel, It is enough; now stay thy hand. And the angel of تتراجراماتون was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 16And David (Dawad) lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of تتراجراماتون standing between earth and heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David (Dawad) and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces. 17And David (Dawad) said unto Elokim, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, O تتراجراماتون my Elokim, be against me, and against my father’s house; but not against thy people, that they should be plagued [T.N. the plague of judgment fell on David's Son the Messiah, Isaiah 53:8; only through G-d's Word can we know G-d's salvation (Psalm 119:81; 2 Tim 3:15). G-d's Son (Proverbs 30:4), the source of revelation (Proverbs 30:3-5) and love (Proverbs 8:17), functioned as an Amon (Craftsman, master builder, Proverbs 8:30) or Creative Wisdom at His side as the source of creativity (Proverbs 8:12; 8:22; 8:30) and love (Proverbs 8:17). And this Son of G-d took on flesh as the Son of G-d Messiah (Psalm 2:7; 1 Chronicles 17:13; Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:5-6), David's L-rd (Psalm 110:1). And whoever calls on the Name of the L-rd will be saved (Joel 2:32). G-d's Word, His Son, incarnated as the Son of G-d Messiah, has a prophesied Name. His prophesied Name is Yeshua given through Messiah's Namesake Yeshua the High Priest who made the kaporah in 516 BCE ending the Golus (Exile) of abandonment from G-d (Isaiah 54:7) lasting 70 years from 586 BCE to 516 BCE. Yeshua is the Kohen after the order of Melki-Tzedek (Ps 110:4) who in his abandonment (Matthew 27:46) made the kaporah ending our Exile from G-d, our exile of sin and death (Matt. 1:12-17).].

18Then the angel of تتراجراماتون commanded Gad to say to David (Dawad), that David (Dawad) should go up, and rear an altar unto تتراجراماتون in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. 19And David (Dawad) went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of تتراجراماتون. 20And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons that were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. 21And as David (Dawad) came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David (Dawad), and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed himself to David (Dawad) with his face to the ground. 22Then David (Dawad) said to Ornan, Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto تتراجراماتون: for the full price shalt thou give it me, that the plague may be stayed from the people. 23And Ornan said unto David (Dawad), Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal-offering; I give it all. 24And king David (Dawad) said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy [T.N. See this same Hebrew word in Proverbs 8:22 where تتراجراماتون possessed His Eternal Word who came to Maryam, John 1:1-14, as the Bar Enosh from the Atik Yomin, whom New Creation Muslims submit to and look for; see John 3:3,12-15; Luke 18:31-33; Matthew 17:9; 13:41] it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for تتراجراماتون, nor offer a burnt-offering without cost. 25So David (Dawad) gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight. 26And David (Dawad) built there an altar unto تتراجراماتون, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon تتراجراماتون; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering. 27And تتراجراماتون commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.

28At that time, when David (Dawad) saw that تتراجراماتون had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there. 29For the tabernacle of تتراجراماتون, which Musa made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon. 30But David (Dawad) could not go before it to inquire of Elokim; for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of تتراجراماتون.
