Karl,

It seems to me that the verb, however, does not mitigate the _direct discourse_ presented at the end of 2 Sam 24:1. YHWH, or perhaps more precisely the anger of YHWH, "says" (אמר )MR) to David, "Go, count ..." That is much more than "allowing."

Chris


It is not just "allowing" it is commanding.
