📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of 1 Chronicles 21, King David had sinned by ordering a census of Israel, which was seen as an act of pride and led to a severe plague as God's judgment. To halt the plague, God instructed David through the prophet Gad to build an altar on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, a site outside Jerusalem. David obeyed by purchasing the land and offering sacrifices there, an event that foreshadowed the future location of the Temple.
