1 Chroniques 21:29 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 21:29

For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Moses made
Or ordered to be made by the command of God, and according to his direction:

and the altar of burnt offerings, were at that season in the high place
at Gibeon;
which was four or five miles from Jerusalem, and too far for David to go in that time of extremity; though he must have gone thither to sacrifice, had not the Lord bid him build an altar on the threshingfloor; for there was the altar of burnt offering, on which only, according to the law of Moses, sacrifices were to be offered: this high place is, in the Targum, called the sanctuary, it including, as Kimchi observes, the whole house, the tabernacle, and the altar in it; which had been here, and at Nob, fifty seven years, as the Jewish writers say ^F14.

1 Chroniques 21:29 In-Context

27 Alors l'Eternel parla à l'ange, qui remit son épée dans le fourreau.

28 A cette époque-là, David, voyant que l'Eternel l'avait exaucé dans l'aire d'Ornan, le Jébusien, y offrait des sacrifices.

29 Mais le tabernacle de l'Eternel, construit par Moïse au désert, et l'autel des holocaustes, étaient alors sur le haut lieu de Gabaon.

30 David ne pouvait pas aller devant cet autel pour chercher Dieu, parce que l'épée de l'ange de l'Eternel lui avait causé de l'épouvante.
