1 Chronicles 21:22

Context
21:22 David said to Ornan, “Sell me the threshing floor 1  so I can build 2  on it an altar for the Lord – I’ll pay top price 3  – so that the plague may be removed 4  from the people.”

1 tn Heb “the place of the threshing floor.”

2 tn Following the imperative, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive here indicates the immediate purpose/result: “so I can build.”

3 tn Heb “For full silver sell to me.”

4 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.
