- And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
- And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.
- Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
- And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD.
- And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

- 大卫举目,看见耶和华的使者站在天地间,手里有拔出来的刀,伸在耶路撒冷以上。大卫和长老都身穿麻衣,面伏于地。
- 大卫祷告神说,吩咐数点百姓的不是我麽。我犯了罪,行了恶,但这群羊作了什么呢。愿耶和华我神的手攻击我和我的父家,不要攻击你的民,降瘟疫与他们。
- 耶和华的使者吩咐迦得去告诉大卫,叫他上去,在耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上为耶和华筑一座坛。
- 大卫就照着迦得奉耶和华名所说的话上去了。
- 那时阿珥楠正打麦子,回头看见天使,就和他四个儿子都藏起来了。
