21:22 David said to Ornan, “Sell me the threshing floor38 so I can build39 on it an altar for the Lord—I’ll pay top price40—so that the plague may be removed41 from the people.”
tn Following the imperative and first person prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive, this third person prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive introduces the ultimate purpose/result: “so the plague may be removed.” Another option is subordinate this form to the preceding imperative, but the latter may be taken as a parenthetical expansion of the initial request.
