1 Samuel 6:3-5

3And they saidH559, If ye send awayH7971 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sendH7971 it not emptyH7387; but in any wiseH7725 returnH7725 him a trespass offeringH817: then ye shall be healedH7495, and it shall be knownH3045 to you why his handH3027 is not removedH5493 from you.

4Then saidH559 they, What shall be the trespass offeringH817 which we shall returnH7725 to him? They answeredH559, FiveH2568 goldenH2091 emerodsH6076H2914, and fiveH2568 goldenH2091 miceH5909, according to the numberH4557 of the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430: for oneH259 plagueH4046 was on you all, and on your lordsH5633.1

5Wherefore ye shall makeH6213 imagesH6754 of your emerodsH6076H2914, and imagesH6754 of your miceH5909 that marH7843 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.
