When they reached the threshing floor of Atad, which is across the Jordan, they lamented and wept loudly, and Joseph mourned seven days for his father.

“When a fire gets out of control, spreads to thornbushes, and consumes stacks of cut grain, standing grain, or a field, the one who started the fire must make full restitution for what was burned.

“You must not hold back offerings from your harvest or your vats. Give me the firstborn of your sons.

“You are to offer a loaf from your first batch of dough as a contribution; offer it just like a contribution from the threshing floor.

“I will put a wool fleece here on the threshing floor. If dew is only on the fleece, and all the ground is dry, I will know that you will deliver Israel by me, as you said.”

“Now isn’t Boaz our relative? Haven’t you been working with his female servants? This evening he will be winnowing barley on the threshing floor.

She went down to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law had charged her to do.

So she lay down at his feet until morning but got up while it was still dark.[fn] Then Boaz said, “Don’t let it be known that a[fn] woman came to the threshing floor.”

Then Saul himself went to Ramah. He came to the large cistern at Secu and asked, “Where are Samuel and David? ”

“At Naioth in Ramah,” someone said.

It was reported to David, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and raiding the threshing floors.”

When they came to Nacon’s threshing floor, Uzzah reached out to the ark of God and took hold of it because the oxen had stumbled.

Then the angel extended his hand toward Jerusalem to destroy it, but the LORD relented concerning the destruction and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough, withdraw your hand now! ” The angel of the LORD was then at the threshing floor of Araunah[fn] the Jebusite.

Gad came to David that day and said to him, “Go up and set up an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”

Araunah said, “Why has my lord the king come to his servant? ”

David replied, “To buy the threshing floor from you in order to build an altar to the LORD, so the plague on the people may be halted.”

The king answered Araunah, “No, I insist on buying it from you for a price, for I will not offer to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for twenty ounces[fn] of silver.

Some time passed after these events. Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard; it was in Jezreel next to the palace of King Ahab of Samaria.

He answered, “If the LORD doesn’t help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor or the winepress? ”

When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzzah reached out to hold the ark because the oxen had stumbled.

Then God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it, but when the angel was about to destroy the city,[fn] the LORD looked, relented concerning the destruction, and said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough, withdraw your hand now! ” The angel of the LORD was then standing at the threshing floor of Ornan[fn] the Jebusite.

So the angel of the LORD ordered Gad to tell David to go and set up an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

David came to Ornan, and when Ornan looked and saw David, he left the threshing floor and bowed to David with his face to the ground.

At that time, David offered sacrifices there when he saw that the LORD answered him at the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

Then Solomon began to build the LORD’s temple in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah where the LORD[fn] had appeared to his father David, at the site David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan[fn] the Jebusite.

You will approach the grave in full vigor,

as a stack of sheaves is gathered in its season.

Can you trust the wild ox to harvest your grain

and bring it to your threshing floor?

For the LORD’s power will rest on this mountain.

But Moab will be trampled in his place[fn]

as straw is trampled in a dung pile.

For this is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says:

Daughter Babylon is like a threshing floor

at the time it is trampled.

In just a little while her harvest time will come.

“Then the iron, the fired clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were shattered and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

Israel, do not rejoice jubilantly as the nations do,

for you have acted promiscuously, leaving your God.

You love the wages of a prostitute

on every grain-threshing floor.

Therefore, they will be like the morning mist,

like the early dew that vanishes,

like chaff blown from a threshing floor,

or like smoke from a window.

The threshing floors will be full of grain,

and the vats will overflow

with new wine and fresh oil.

But they do not know the LORD’s intentions

or understand his plan,

that he has gathered them

like sheaves to the threshing floor.

Therefore, as I live —

this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies,

the God of Israel —

Moab will be like Sodom

and the Ammonites like Gomorrah:

a place overgrown with weeds,

a salt pit, and a perpetual wasteland.

The remnant of my people will plunder them;

the remainder of my nation will dispossess them.
