And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all. I give thee ... the threshing instruments for wood - i:e., to burn the sacrifice of the oxen. Very little of the real import-the haste, and the value of the present offered-can be understood in this country. The offering was made for instant use. Ornan, hereby hoping to terminate the pestilence without a moment's delay, 'gave all'-oxen, the large threshing machine, and the wheat.
