The Lord said to Moses,
He said, “Why has my master the king come to me?” David answered, “To buy the threshing floor from you so I can build an altar to the Lord. Then the terrible disease will stop.”
Still God was merciful. He forgave their sins and did not destroy them. Many times he held back his anger and did not stir up all his anger.
Then Moses and Aaron went in front of the Meeting Tent.
“Move away from these people so I can destroy them quickly.” So Moses and Aaron bowed facedown.
