*
So you must make images of your tumors and images of your mice that ravage the land ,
and give glory to the God of Israel ;
perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you and your gods and your land .
*
Why should you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts ?
After he had made sport of them ,
did not they let the people go ,
and they departed ?
*
Now then ,
take and prepare a new cart and two milch cows upon which there has never come a yoke ,
and yoke the cows to the cart ,
but take their calves home ,
away from them .
*
And take the ark of the LORD and place it on the cart ,
and put in a box at its side the figures of gold ,
which you are returning to him as a guilt offering .
Then send it off ,
and let it go its way .
*
And watch ;
if it goes up on the way to its own land ,
to Beth-she '
mesh ,
then it is he who has done us this great harm ;
but if not ,
then we shall know that it is not his hand that struck us ,
it happened to us by chance ."
