And the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 was in the countryH7704 of the PhilistinesH6430 sevenH7651 monthsH2320.
And the PhilistinesH6430 calledH7121 for the priestsH3548 and the divinersH7080, sayingH559, What shall we doH6213 to the arkH727 of the LORDH3068? tellH3045 us wherewith we shall sendH7971 it to his placeH4725.
And they saidH559, If ye send awayH7971 the arkH727 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, sendH7971 it not emptyH7387; but in any wiseH7725 returnH7725 him a trespass offeringH817: then ye shall be healedH7495, and it shall be knownH3045 to you why his handH3027 is not removedH5493 from you.
Then saidH559 they, What shall be the trespass offeringH817 which we shall returnH7725 to him? They answeredH559, FiveH2568 goldenH2091 emerodsH2914+H6076, and fiveH2568 goldenH2091 miceH5909, according to the numberH4557 of the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430: for oneH259 plagueH4046 was on you all, and on your lordsH5633. {you: Heb. them}
Wherefore ye shall makeH6213 imagesH6754 of your emerodsH2914+H6076, and imagesH6754 of your miceH5909 that marH7843 the landH776; and ye shall giveH5414 gloryH3519 unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: peradventure he will lightenH7043 his handH3027 from off you, and from off your godsH430, and from off your landH776.
Wherefore then do ye hardenH3513 your heartsH3824, as the EgyptiansH4714 and PharaohH6547 hardenedH3513 their heartsH3820? when he had wrought wonderfullyH5953 among them, did they not let the people goH7971, and they departedH3212? {wonderfully: or, reproachfully} {the people: Heb. them}
Now therefore makeH6213 aH259 newH2319 cartH5699, and takeH3947 twoH8147 milchH5763 kineH6510, on which there hath comeH5927 no yokeH5923, and tieH631 the kineH6510 to the cartH5699, and bringH7725 their calvesH1121 homeH1004 from themH310:
And takeH3947 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, and layH5414 it upon the cartH5699; and putH7760 the jewelsH3627 of goldH2091, which ye returnH7725 him for a trespass offeringH817, in a cofferH712 by the sideH6654 thereof; and send it awayH7971, that it may goH1980.
And seeH7200, if it goeth upH5927 by the wayH1870 of his own coastH1366 to BethshemeshH1053, then he hath doneH6213 us this greatH1419 evilH7451: but if not, then we shall knowH3045 that it is not his handH3027 that smoteH5060 us: it was a chanceH4745 that happened to usH1961. {he: or, it}
And the menH582 did soH6213; and tookH3947 twoH8147 milchH5763 kineH6510, and tiedH631 them to the cartH5699, and shut upH3607 their calvesH1121 at homeH1004:
And they laidH7760 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 upon the cartH5699, and the cofferH712 with the miceH5909 of goldH2091 and the imagesH6754 of their emerodsH2914.
And the kineH6510 took the straightH3474 wayH1870 to the wayH1870 of BethshemeshH1053, and went alongH1980 the highwayH4546+H259, lowingH1600 as they wentH1980, and turned not asideH5493 to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040; and the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 wentH1980 afterH310 them unto the borderH1366 of BethshemeshH1053.
And they of BethshemeshH1053 were reapingH7114 their wheatH2406 harvestH7105 in the valleyH6010: and they lifted upH5375 their eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the arkH727, and rejoicedH8055 to seeH7200 it.
And the cartH5699 cameH935 into the fieldH7704 of JoshuaH3091, a BethshemiteH1030, and stoodH5975 there, where there was a greatH1419 stoneH68: and they claveH1234 the woodH6086 of the cartH5699, and offeredH5927 the kineH6510 a burnt offeringH5930 unto the LORDH3068.
And the LevitesH3881 took downH3381 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, and the cofferH712 that was with it, wherein the jewelsH3627 of goldH2091 were, and putH7760 them on the greatH1419 stoneH68: and the menH582 of BethshemeshH1053 offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 and sacrificedH2076 sacrificesH2077 the same dayH3117 unto the LORDH3068.
And when the fiveH2568 lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 had seenH7200 it, they returnedH7725 to EkronH6138 the same dayH3117.
And these are the goldenH2091 emerodsH2914 which the PhilistinesH6430 returnedH7725 for a trespass offeringH817 unto the LORDH3068; for AshdodH795 oneH259, for GazaH5804 oneH259, for AskelonH831 oneH259, for GathH1661 oneH259, for EkronH6138 oneH259;
And the goldenH2091 miceH5909, according to the numberH4557 of all the citiesH5892 of the PhilistinesH6430 belonging to the fiveH2568 lordsH5633, both of fencedH4013 citiesH5892, and of countryH6521 villagesH3724, even unto the greatH1419 stone of AbelH59, whereon they set downH3240 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068: which stone remaineth unto this dayH3117 in the fieldH7704 of JoshuaH3091, the BethshemiteH1030. {great…: or, great stone}
And he smoteH5221 the menH376 of BethshemeshH1053, because they had lookedH7200 into the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, even he smoteH5221 of the peopleH5971 fiftyH2572 thousandH505 and threescore and tenH7657 menH582: and the peopleH5971 lamentedH56, because the LORDH3068 had smittenH5221 many of the peopleH5971 with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347.
And the menH582 of BethshemeshH1053 saidH559, Who is ableH3201 to standH5975 beforeH6440 this holyH6918 LORDH3068 GodH430? and to whom shall he go upH5927 from us?
And they sentH7971 messengersH4397 to the inhabitantsH3427 of KirjathjearimH7157, sayingH559, The PhilistinesH6430 have brought againH7725 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068; come ye downH3381, and fetch it upH5927 to you.

And it came to pass in the morningH1242 that his spiritH7307 was troubledH6470; and he sentH7971 and calledH7121 for all the magiciansH2748 of EgyptH4714, and all the wise menH2450 thereof: and PharaohH6547 toldH5608 them his dreamH2472; but there was none that could interpretH6622 them unto PharaohH6547.
Wherewith shall I come beforeH6923 the LORDH3068, and bowH3721 myself before the highH4791 GodH430? shall I come beforeH6923 him with burnt offeringsH5930, with calvesH5695 of a yearH8141 oldH1121? {of a…: Heb. sons of a year?}
Will the LORDH3068 be pleasedH7521 with thousandsH505 of ramsH352, or with ten thousandsH7233 of riversH5158 of oilH8081? shall I giveH5414 my firstbornH1060 for my transgressionH6588, the fruitH6529 of my bodyH990 for the sinH2403 of my soulH5315? {body: Heb. belly}

Then PharaohH6547 also calledH7121 the wise menH2450 and the sorcerersH3784: now the magiciansH2748 of EgyptH4714, they also didH6213 in like mannerH3651 with their enchantmentsH3858.
StandH5975 now with thine enchantmentsH2267, and with the multitudeH7230 of thy sorceriesH3785, whereinH834 thou hast labouredH3021 from thy youthH5271; if so be thou shalt be ableH3201 to profitH3276, if so be thou mayest prevailH6206.
Thou art weariedH3811 in the multitudeH7230 of thy counselsH6098. Let now the astrologersH1895+H8064, the stargazersH2374+H3556, the monthlyH2320 prognosticatorsH3045, stand upH5975, and saveH3467 thee from these things that shall comeH935 upon thee. {astrologers: Heb. viewers of the heavens} {the monthly…: Heb. that give knowledge concerning the months}

The kingH4430 criedH7123 aloudH2429 to bringH5954 in the astrologersH826, the ChaldeansH3779, and the soothsayersH1505.
