I am under no illusions about what is going to happen in the future, and that the end is probably only a few months away. It is so sad to see what was once a very healthy and strong man to now what is a very skinny man with a big frame. He is 55.
How Much Did David Pay for Ornan's Threshingfloor? Claimed Contradiction: II Samuel 24:24 says that David paid 50 shekels of silver to purchase the threshingfloor of Ornan, yet I Chronicles 21:25 says that he paid 600 shekels of gold for this property. This supposed contradiction, like many others, rests on the shaky foundation of cursory reading.
On Soviet kolkhozes and sovkhozes with a harvesting area of 800â1,000 hectares, the threshing floors are 70â80 m long and 45â60 m wide. For natural drying of grain, three or four sloped strips 50â60 m long and 12â15 m wide are created for the drainage of rainwater. On some farms the threshing floor is made of cement. A barn or sheds may be built for temporary grain storage; such buildings contain fire-fighting equipment. On threshing floors, crops are threshed and grain is processed, using various methods that range from the most primitiveâin countries with backward farmingâto the most modern, which involves highly efficient machinery (seeGRAIN CLEANING AND DRYING STATION).
