*
Either three years famine ra #
ab #;
or three months to be destroyed before thy foes ,
while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee ;
or else three days the sword of the LORD ,
even the pestilence ,
in the land ,
and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel Yisra #
el #.
Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me .
*
And David said unto Gad ,
I am in a great strait :
let me fall now into the hand of the LORD ;
for very great are his mercies :
but let me not fall into the hand of man .
*
So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel Yisra #
el #:
and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men .
*
And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it :
and as he was destroying ,
the LORD beheld ,
and he repented him of the evil ,
and said to the angel that destroyed ,
It is enough ,
stay now thine hand .
And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite .
*
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 tso #
n #,
what have they done ?
let thine hand ,
I pray thee ,
O LORD my God ,
be on me ,
and on my fathers house ;
but not on thy people ,
that they should be plagued .
