Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass ,
that the ark of Yahweh was in the country of the Philistines ,
seven months .
*
Then called the Philistines for the priests and for the diviners ,
saying ,
What shall we do with the ark of Yahweh ?
Let us know ,
wherewith we shall send it to its own place .
*
And they said If ye are going to send away the ark of the God of Israel ,
do not send it away ,
empty ,
but ye must ,
surely return ,
to him ,
a guilt-offering ,
then ,
shall ye be healed ,
and it shall be known to you ,
wherefore his hand would not turn away from you .
*
And they said What shall be the guilt-offering ,
that we shall return to him ?
And they said By the number of the lords of the Philistines ,
five tumours of gold ,
and five mice of gold ,
for ,
one plague ,
was on you all ,
and on your lords .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
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 ;
