1Ch 21:29 | MHM | STEP | v. 29-30 : The original altar made by Moses was at Gibeon, and this was where Israel usually offered sacrifices (1 Chronicles 21:29 ). But David was afraid to go there because of the angel’s sword and the emergency of the plague (1 Chronicles 21:30 ). God allowed David to build an altar at Ornan’s place for this special situation, showing that God values true unity and heartfelt worship more than just outward rules.
