for the priestsº
and the diviners,ºº
saying,ºº

we shall sendºº
it to his place.º |
|
6:3
And they said, If ye send away the ark of the covenant of the Lord God of Israel, do not on any account send it away empty, but by all means render to it an offering for the plague; and then shall ye be healed, and an atonement shall be made for you: should not his hand be [thus] stayed from off you? |
6:3
And they said,ºº
Ifº
ye send awayººº
the arkº
of the Elohimº

sendºº
it notº
empty;º

in any wiseºº
returnºº
him a trespass offering:º
thenº
ye shall be healed,ºº
and it shall be knownºº
to you whyº
his handº
is notº
removedºº
fromº
you. |
|
6:4
And they say, What [is] the offering for the plague [which] we shall return to it? and they said, |
6:4

they, Whatº
[shall be] the trespass offeringº
whichº
we shall returnºº
to him? They answered,ºº
Fiveº
goldenº
emerods,ººº
and fiveº
goldenº
mice,º
[according to] the numberº
of the lordsº
of the Philistines:º
forº
oneº
plagueº
[was] on you all,º
and on your lords.º |
|
6:5
According to the number of the lords of the Philistines, five golden emerods, for the plague was on you, and on your rulers, and on the people; and golden mice, the likeness of the mice that destroy your land: and ye shall give glory to the Lord, that he may lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land. |
6:5
Wherefore ye shall makeºº
imagesº
of your emerods,ººº
and imagesº
of your miceº
that marººº
the land;º
and ye shall giveºº
gloryº
unto the Elohimº
of Israel:º
peradventureº
he will lightenººº
his handº
from offºº
you, and from offºº
your elohim,º
and from offºº
your land.º |

then do ye hardenººº
your hearts,º

let the people go,ºº
and they departed?ººº |

the kineº
to the cart,º
and bringºº
their calvesº
homeº
fromºº
them:º |
|

in a cofferº
by the sideºº
thereof; and send it away,ººº
that it may go.ºº |

ifº
it goeth upºº
by the wayº
of his own coastº
to Bethshemesh,º

hath doneºº
usº
thisº
greatº
evil:º
but ifº
not,º
then we shall knowºº
thatº

his handº
[that] smoteºº
us: itº
[was] a chanceº
[that] happenedº
to us.ºº |
