1 Samuel 6:6-8

New English Translation

⁶ Why harden your hearts like the Egyptians and Pharaoh did?^[a] When God^[b] treated them harshly, didn’t the Egyptians send the Israelites on their way?^{[c] 7} So now go and make a new cart. Get two cows that have calves and that have never had a yoke placed on them. Harness the cows to the cart, and take their calves from them back to their stalls. ⁸ Then take the ark of the Lord and place it on the cart, and put in a chest beside it the gold objects you are sending to him as a guilt offering. You should then send it on its way.
