ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૨૪:૨૨
અરાવ્નાહે દાઉદને કહ્યું, “મારા માલિક રાજા, ખળી તારી પોતાની છે એમ સમજીને લે. તારી દ્રષ્ટિમાં જે સારું લાગે તે કર. જો, અહીં દહનીયાર્પણને માટે બળદો અને લાકડાને માટે ખળીના ઓજારો તથા બળદોનો સામાન છે.
हिन्दी2 शमूएल २४:२२
अरौना ने दाऊद से कहा, “मेरा प्रभु राजा जो कुछ उसे अच्छा लगे उसे लेकर चढ़ाए; देख, होमबलि के लिये तो बैल हैं, और दाँवने के हथियार, और बैलों का सामान ईंधन का काम देंगे।”

In context

20Araunah looked out, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him. Then Araunah went out and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

21Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant?” David said, “To buy your threshing floor, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stopped from afflicting the people.”

22Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him. Behold, the cattle for the burnt offering, and the threshing sledges and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.

23All this, O king, does Araunah give to the king.” Araunah said to the king, “May the LORD your God accept you.”

24The king said to Araunah, “No, but I will most certainly buy it from you for a price. I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
