1 Samuel 6:1-9

1And the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 was in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430 sevenH7651 monthsH2320.

2And the PhilistinesH6430 calledH7121 for the priestsH3548 and the divinersH7080, sayingH559, WhatH4100 shall weH6213 doH6213 with the arkH727 of the LORDH3068? shew usH3045 wherewith weH6213 shall sendH7971 it to itsH3045 placeH4725.

3And they saidH559, IfH518 ye sendH7971 awayH5493 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sendH7971 it notH3808 emptyH7387; but in anyH4480 wise returnH7725 him a guiltH817 offering: then ye shall be healedH7495, and it shall be knownH3045 to youH3588 whyH4100 his handH3027 is notH3808 removedH5493 from youH3588.

4Then saidH559 they, WhatH4100 shall be the guiltH817 offering whichH834 weH3588 shall returnH7725 to him? And they saidH559, FiveH2568 goldenH2091 tumours, and fiveH2568 goldenH2091 miceH5909, according to the numberH4557 of the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430: for one plagueH4046 was on youH834 allH3605, and on your lordsH5633.

5Wherefore ye shall makeH5414 imagesH6754 of your tumours, and imagesH6754 of your miceH5909 that mar the landH776; and ye shall giveH5414 gloryH3519 unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: peradventure he will lightenH7043 his handH3027 from offH5921 youH5414, and from offH5921 your godsH430, and from offH5921 your landH776:

6Wherefore then doH4100 ye hardenH3513 your heartsH3820, as the EgyptiansH4713 and PharaohH6547 hardenedH3513 their heartsH3820? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, didH4100 they notH3808 letH7971 the peopleH834 goH7971 and they departed?

7NowH6258 therefore takeH3947 and prepareH6213 youH834 a newH2319 cartH5699, and twoH8147 milchH5763 kine, on whichH834 there hath comeH5927 noH3808 yokeH5923, and tieH631 the kine to the cartH5699, and bringH7725 their calvesH1121 homeH1004 from them:

8and takeH3947 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, and layH5414 it uponH413 the cartH5699; and putH5414 the jewelsH3627 of goldH2091, whichH834 ye returnH7725 him for a guiltH817 offering, in a coffer by the sideH6654 thereof; and sendH7971 it awayH7971, that it may goH1980.

9And seeH7200, ifH518 it goeth upH5927 by the wayH1870 of itsH853 ownH1961 borderH1366 to Beth-shemeshH1053, then he hath doneH6213 usH3045 this greatH1419 evilH7451: but ifH518 notH3808, then weH3588 shall knowH3045 that it is notH3808 his handH3027 that smote usH3045; it was a chanceH4745 that happenedH1961 to usH3045.
