1 Samuel 6:3-5

3They saidH559, “IfH518 you sendH7971 awayH7971 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, 1do not sendH7971 it emptyH7387; but you shall surelyH7725 2returnH7725 to Him a guiltH817 offeringH817. ThenH227 you will be healedH7495 and it will be knownH3045 to you whyH4100 His handH3027 is not removedH5493 from you.”

4Then they saidH559, “WhatH4100 shall be the guiltH817 offeringH817 whichH834 we shall returnH7725 to Him?” And they saidH559, “FiveH2568 goldenH2091 3tumorsH6076 and fiveH2568 goldenH2091 miceH5909 4according to the numberH4557 of the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430, for oneH259 plagueH4046 was on allH3605 of 5you and on your lordsH5633.

5So you shall makeH6213 likenessesH6754 of your tumorsH6076 and likenessesH6754 of your miceH5909 that ravageH7843 the landH776, and 6you shall giveH5414 gloryH3519 to the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; perhapsH194 7He will easeH7043 His handH3027 from you, 8your godsH430, and your landH776.
