1 Samuel 6:7-9

7Now therefore, take and 1prepare a new cart and two milch cows on which there 2has never been a yoke; and hitch the cows to the cart and take their calves home, away from them. 8Take the ark of the Lord and place it on the cart; and put 3the articles of gold which you return to Him as 4a guilt offering in a box by its side. Then send it away that it may go. 9Watch, if it goes up by the way of its own territory to 5Beth-shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then 6we will know that it was not His hand that struck us; it happened to us by chance.”
