2 And the Philistines acalled 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 aempty; but by all means return it to Him with ba 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, a“Five golden tumors and five golden rats, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines. For the same plague was on all of1 you and on your lords.
5 Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your rats that aravage the land, and you shall bgive glory to the God of Israel; perhaps He will clighten His hand from you, from dyour gods, and from your land.
6 Why then do you harden your hearts aas the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When He did mighty things among them, bdid they not let the people go, that they might depart?
