And the ark
of the LORD
was in the country
of the Philistines
seven
months.
And the Philistines
called
for the priests
and the diviners,
saying,
What shall we do
to the ark
of the LORD?
tell
us wherewith we shall send
it to his place.

And they said,
If ye send away
the ark
of the God
of Israel,
send
it not empty;
but in any wise
return
him a trespass offering:
then ye shall be healed,
and it shall be known
to you why his hand
is not removed
from you.

Then said
they, What shall be the trespass offering
which we shall return
to him? They answered,
Five
golden
emerods,
and five
golden
mice,
according to the number
of the lords
of the Philistines:
for one
plague
was on you all, and on your lords.

Wherefore ye shall make

that mar
the land;
and ye shall give
glory
unto the God
of Israel:
peradventure he will lighten
his hand
from off you, and from off your gods,
and from off your land.

Wherefore then do ye harden
your hearts,
as the Egyptians
and Pharaoh
hardened
their hearts?
when he had wrought wonderfully
among them, did they not let the people go,
and they departed?
Now therefore make
a
new
cart,
and take
two
milch
kine,
on which there hath come
no yoke,
and tie
the kine
to the cart,
and bring
their calves
home
from them:

And see,
if it goeth up
by the way
of his own coast
to Bethshemesh,
then he hath done
us this great
evil:
but if not, then we shall know
that it is not his hand
that smote
us: it was a chance
that happened to us.

And they laid

And the kine
took the straight

to the way
of Bethshemesh,
and went along

and turned not aside
to the right hand
or to the left;
and the lords
of the Philistines
went
after
them unto the border
of Bethshemesh.
