Porro Ornan cum suspexisset et vidisset angelum , quatuorque filii ejus cum eo , absconderunt se : nam eo tempore terebat in area triticum .

Ornan said to David, “Take it for yourself, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes. Behold, I give the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal offering. I give it all.”
