1 Samuel 6:7-11

7NowH6258 then, takeH3947 and 1prepareH6213 a newH2319 cartH5699 and twoH8147 milkH5763 cowsH6510 on whichH834 there 2has neverH3808 beenH5927 a yokeH5923; and hitchH631 the cowsH6510 to the cartH5699 and takeH7725 their calvesH1121 backH7725 homeH1004, awayH310 from them. 8Then takeH3947 the arkH727 of the LordH3068 and placeH5414 it on the cartH5699; and putH7760 3the articlesH3627 of goldH2091 whichH834 you returnH7725 to Him as 4a guiltH817 offeringH817 in a saddlebagH712 by its sideH6654. Then sendH7971 it awayH7971 that it may goH1980. 9But watchH7200: ifH518 it goesH5927 upH5927 by the wayH1870 of its own territoryH1366 to 5Beth-shemeshH1053, then He has doneH6213 thisH2088 greatH1419 evilH7463 to us. But ifH518 not, then 6we will knowH3045 that it was not His handH3027 that struckH5060 us; it happenedH1961 to us by chanceH4745.”

10Then the menH376 didH6213 soH3651: they tookH3947 twoH8147 milkH5763 cowsH6510 and hitchedH631 them to the cartH5699, and shutH3607 in their calvesH1121 at homeH1004. 11And they putH7760 the arkH727 of the LordH3068 on the cartH5699, and the saddlebagH712 with the goldH2091 miceH5909 and the likenessesH6754 of their tumorsH2914.
