1 Samuel 6:7-15
7Now, thereforeH6258H3947, prepareH6213 oneH259 newH2319 cartH5699 with twoH8147 milkH5763 cowsH6510 thatH834 have neverH3808 been yokedH5927H5921H5923. HitchH631 the cowsH6510 to the cartH5699, but take their calvesH1121H310 awayH7725 and pen them upH1004. 8TakeH3947 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, setH5414 itH853 onH413 the cartH5699, andH853 in a chestH712 beside itH6654 putH7760 the goldH2091 objectsH3627 you are sending backH7725 to Him as a guilt offeringH817.
Then sendH7971 the ark on its wayH1980, 9but keep watching itH7200. IfH518 it goes upH5927 the roadH1870 to its homelandH1366, toward Beth-shemeshH1053, it is the LORDH1931 who has broughtH6213 on us thisH2063 greatH1419 disasterH7451. But ifH518 it does notH3808, then we will knowH3045 thatH3588 it was notH3808 His handH3027 that punishedH5060 us and that itH1931 happenedH1961 by chanceH4745.”
10So the menH582 didH6213 as instructed. They tookH3947 twoH8147 milkH5763 cowsH6510, hitched themH631 to the cartH5699, and penned upH3607H1004 their calvesH1121. 11Then they putH7760 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 onH413 the cartH5699, along with the chestH712 containing the goldH2091 ratsH5909 and the imagesH6754 of the tumorsH2914.
12And the cowsH6510 headed straightH3474 up the roadH1870 towardH5921H1870 Beth-shemeshH1053, staying on that oneH259 highwayH4546 and lowingH1600 as they wentH1980, neverH3808 strayingH5493 to the rightH3225 or to the leftH8040. The rulersH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 followedH1980 behind themH310 toH5704 the borderH1366 of Beth-shemeshH1053.
13Now the people of Beth-shemeshH1053 were harvestingH7114H7105 wheatH2406 in the valleyH6010, and when they looked upH5375 and sawH7200 the arkH727, they were overjoyedH8055 at the sightH7200.
14The cartH5699 cameH935 toH413 the fieldH7704 of JoshuaH3091 of Beth-shemeshH1030 and stoppedH5975 thereH8033 near a largeH1419 rockH68. The people chopped upH1234 the cartH5699 and offeredH5927 the cowsH6510 as a burnt offeringH5930 to the LORDH3068. 15And the LevitesH3881 took downH3381 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 andH853 the chestH712 containingH834H854 the goldH2091 objectsH3627, and they placed themH7760 onH413 the largeH1419 rockH68. ThatH1931 dayH3117 the menH582 of Beth-shemeshH1053 offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and madeH2076 sacrificesH2077 to the LORDH3068.
