1 Samuel 6:5-9 Wherefore ye shall make likenesses of your turnouts, and likenesses of your mice that are laying waste the land, and shall, give unto the, God of Israel, glory,––Peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your god, and from off your land.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Wherefore ye shall make likenesses of your turnouts, and likenesses of your mice that are laying waste the land, and shall, give unto the, God of Israel, glory,––Peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your god, and from off your land. ⁶ Wherefore, then, should ye make your heart dull, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh made their heart dull! When he had done his great doings upon them, did they not let them go, and they departed? ⁷ Now, therefore, take and get ready, one new waggon, and two milch kine, whereon hath never come yoke,––then shall ye fasten the kine in the waggon, and withdraw their calves from them, into the shed; ⁸ and ye shall take the ark of Yahweh, and place it in the waggon, also, the jewels of gold which ye send back to him as a guilt–offering, shall ye put into a coffer, at the side thereof,––so shall ye let it go, and it shall depart. ⁹ Then shall ye look––if, by the way of its own boundary, it goeth up to Beth–shemesh, he, it was who caused us this great affliction,––but, if not, then shall we know that it was not, his hand, that smote us, a chance, it was, that befell us.
