Araunah
araunah
agile; also called ornan 1 chr. 21:15, a jebusite who dwelt in jerusalem before it was taken by the israelites. the destroying angel, sent to punish david for his vanity in taking a census of the people, was stayed in his work of destruction near a threshing-floor belonging to araunah which was situated on mount moriah. araunah offered it to david as a free gift, together with the oxen and the threshing instruments; but the king insisted on purchasing it at its full price (2 sam. 24:24; 1 chr. 21:24, 25), for, according to the law of sacrifices, he could not offer to g-d what cost him nothing. on the same place solomon afterwards erected the temple (2 sam. 24:16; 2 chr. 3:1). (see altar.)
