28. At that time, when Dawiḏ saw that יהוה had answered him on the threshing-floor of Ornan the Yeḇusite, he slaughtered there,
29. for the Dwelling Place of יהוה and the altar of the burnt offering, which Mosheh had made in the wilderness, were at that time at the high place in Giḇ‛on.
30. But Dawiḏ was unable to go before it to inquire of Elohim, for he was afraid of the sword of the messenger of יהוה.
