1 Samuel 6:2-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
2
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, 'What are we to do with the ark of the
Lord
? Tell us how we may send it to its place.'
3
And they said, 'If you are going to send the ark of the God of Israel away, do not send it empty; but you shall certainly return to Him a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and it will be revealed to you why His hand does not leave you.'
4
Then they said, 'What is to be the guilt offering that we shall return to Him?' And they said, 'Five gold tumors and five gold mice
corresponding to
the number of the governors of the Philistines, since one plague was on all of you and on your governors.
5
So you shall make likenesses of your tumors and likenesses of your mice that are ruining the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps He will lighten His hand from you, your gods, and your land.
King James Version
Chapter 6
2
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the
Lord
? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.
3
And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
4
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.
5
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
2
the Philistines summoned the priests and the diviners and pleaded, "What should we do with the ark of the
Lord
? Tell us how we can send it back to its place."
3
They replied, "If you send the ark of Israel’s God away, do not send it without an offering. Send back a guilt offering to him, and you will be healed. Then the reason his hand hasn’t been removed from you will be revealed."
4
They asked, "What guilt offering should we send back to him?" And they answered, "Five gold tumors and five gold mice corresponding to the number of Philistine rulers, since there was one plague for both you and your rulers.
5
Make images of your tumors and of your mice that are destroying the land. Give glory to Israel’s God, and perhaps he will stop oppressing you, your gods, and your land.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
2
Then the Philistines called in their priests and diviners and asked them, 'What should we do about the Ark of the
Lord
? Tell us how to return it to its own country.'
3
Send the Ark of the God of Israel back with a gift,' they were told. 'Send a guilt offering so the plague will stop. Then, if you are healed, you will know it was his hand that caused the plague.'
4
What sort of guilt offering should we send?' they asked. And they were told, 'Since the plague has struck both you and your five rulers, make five gold tumors and five gold rats, just like those that have ravaged your land.
5
Make these things to show honor to the God of Israel. Perhaps then he will stop afflicting you, your gods, and your land.

2
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners and said, "What shall we do with the ark of the
Lord
? Tell us with what we shall send it to its place."
3
They said, "If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty, but by all means return him a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand does not turn away from you."
4
And they said, "What is the guilt offering that we shall return to him?" They answered, "Five golden tumors and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines, for the same plague was on all of you and on your lords.
5
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.

Chapter 6
2
the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners and said, "What shall we do with the ark of the
Lord
? Tell us how we should send it back to its place."
3
They answered, "If you return the ark of the god of Israel, do not send it back to him without a gift; by all means send a guilt offering to him. Then you will be healed, and you will know why his hand has not been lifted from you."
4
The Philistines asked, "What guilt offering should we send to him?" They replied, "Five gold tumors and five gold rats, according to the number of the Philistine rulers, because the same plague has struck both you and your rulers.
5
Make models of the tumors and of the rats that are destroying the country, and give glory to Israel’s god. Perhaps he will lift his hand from you and your gods and your land.
New King James Version
Chapter 6
2
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the ark of the
Lord
? Tell us how we should send it to its place.”
3
So they said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty; but by all means return
it
to Him
with
a trespass offering. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why His hand is not removed from you.”
4
Then they said, “What
is
the trespass offering which we shall return to Him?” They answered, “Five golden tumors and five golden rats,
according to
the number of the lords of the Philistines. For the same plague
was
on all of you and on your lords.
5
Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your rats that ravage the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel; perhaps He will lighten His hand from you, from your gods, and from your land.
