Discovery Box1 Chronicles 21:18 
Context21:18 So the Lord’s messenger told Gad to instruct David to go up and build 1 an altar for the Lord on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
1 Chronicles 21:22
Context21:22 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.”
1 tn Heb “that he should go up to raise up.”
2 tn Heb “the place of the threshing floor.”
3 tn Following the imperative, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive here indicates the immediate purpose/result: “so I can build.”
4 tn Heb “For full silver sell to me.”
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.
