Spanish Bible LBLB (La Biblia De Las Américas) 1997
Y David dijo a Dios: ¿No soy yo el que ordenó enumerar al pueblo? Ciertamente yo soy el que ha pecado y obrado muy perversamente, pero estas ovejas, ¿qué han hecho? Oh SEÑOR, Dios mío, te ruego que tu mano sea contra mí y contra la casa de mi padre, pero no contra tu pueblo, para que no haya plaga entre ellos.
¿Qué significa esto?
