1 Samuel 6:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ “Then take the Ark of the LORD and set it upon the cart. And put the jewels of gold, which you give it for a Sin Offering, in a coffer by its side. And send it away, so that it may go.

⁹ “And watch. If it goes up by way of its own territory, to Beth Shemesh, it is He who brought us this great calamity. But if not, we shall know then that it is not His Hand that struck us. It happened to us by chance.”

¹⁰ And the men did so. For they took two cows that gave milk and tied them to the cart and shut up the calves at home.
