1 Samuel 6:1-5

1And the arkH727 of Jehovah wasH1961 in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430 sevenH7651 monthsH2320.

2And the PhilistinesH6430 calledH7121 for the priestsH3548 and the divinersH7080, sayingH559, What shall we do with the arkH727 of Jehovah? show us wherewith we shall sendH7971 it to its placeH4725.

3And they saidH559, If ye sendH7971 awayH5493 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sendH7971 it not emptyH7387; but by all means returnH7725 him a trespass-offering: thenH227 ye shall be healedH7495, and it shall be knownH3045 to you whyH4100 his handH3027 is not removedH5493 from you.

4Then saidH559 they, What shall be the trespass-offering which we shall returnH7725 to him? And they saidH559, FiveH2568 golden tumors, and fiveH2568 golden miceH5909, according to the numberH4557 of the lords of the PhilistinesH6430; for oneH259 plagueH4046 was on you all, and on your lords.

5Wherefore ye shall makeH5414 imagesH6754 of your tumors, and imagesH6754 of your miceH5909 that mar the landH776; and ye shall giveH5414 gloryH3519 unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: peradventure he will lightenH7043 his handH3027 from off you, and from off your godsH430, and from off your landH776.
