1 Chronicles21:20
20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves . Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
Or, And Ornan turned back (i. e. turned his face from the Angel) for or when (for the Hebrew vau is frequently used both those ways) he saw the angel, and (so did) his four sons with him hiding themselves; partly because of the Glory and Majesty in which the Angel appeared, which mens weak and sinful natures are not able to bear; and partly from the fear of Gods Vengeance which was at this time riding circuit in the Land, and now seemed to be coming to their Family.
Marginal references: Or, when Or[illegible: 1+ letters] nan turned back and saw the angel, then he and his four sons with him hid themselves.
