David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the heights of Mount Moriah, the site where the temple was afterward built. The sacrifice offered at Ornan's threshing floor stayed and turned aside the destroying angel's avenging sword. God answered David by fire from heaven.

That sacrifice prefigured and was a fitting symbol of the Saviour's sacrifice and mediation for guilty people.
