Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Chronicles 21:20-21

_ _ Ornan was threshing wheat — If the census was entered upon in autumn, the beginning of the civil year, the nine and a half months it occupied would end at wheat harvest. The common way of threshing corn is by spreading it out on a high level area, and driving backwards and forwards upon it two oxen harnessed to a clumsy sledge with three rollers and some sharp spikes. The driver sits on his knees on the box, while another person is employed in drawing back the straw and separating it from the grain underneath. By this operation the chaff is very much chopped, and the grain threshed out.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Chronicles 21:18-30.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Chronicles 21:20

Hid themselves — Because of the glory and majesty in which the angel appeared, which mens weak natures are not able to bear; and from the fear of God's vengeance which now seemed to be coming to their family.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Chronicles 21:20

And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him (i) hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

(i) If man hides himself at the sight of an angel who is a creature, how much more as a sinner able to appear before the face of God?
