09:006:004 Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we
           shall return to him?  They answered, Five golden emerods, and
           five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the
           Philistines:  for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.

09:006:005 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of
           your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the
           God of Israel:  peradventure he will lighten his hand from off
           you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.

09:006:006 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and
           Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully
           among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?

09:006:007 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on
           which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart,
           and bring their calves home from them: 

09:006:008 And take the ark of the lord, and lay it upon the cart; and
           put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass
           offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away,
           that it may go.

09:006:009 And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to
           Bethshemesh, then he hath done us this great evil:  but if not,
           then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us:  it
           was a chance that happened to us.

09:006:010 And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to
           the cart, and shut up their calves at home: 

09:006:011 And they laid the ark of the lord upon the cart, and the
           coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.

09:006:012 And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh,
           and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned
           not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of
           the Philistines went after them unto the border of
           Bethshemesh.

09:006:013 And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in
           the valley:  and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark,
           and rejoiced to see it.

09:006:014 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and
           stood there, where there was a great stone:  and they clave the
           wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto
           the lord.

09:006:015 And the Levites took down the ark of the lord, and the coffer
           that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put
           them on the great stone:  and the men of Bethshemesh offered
           burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto
           the lord.
