1 Samuel 6:8-10

Lexham English Bible

⁸ And you must take the ark of Yahweh and place it on the utility cart with the gold objects that you are returning to him as a guilt offering. You must place them in the container^[a] beside the ark and then send it off so that it goes away. ⁹ You must watch; if it goes up by the way of its territory to Beth Shemesh, he has caused this great disaster to come on us. But if not, then we will know his hand has not struck us; it was by chance that this happened to us. ¹⁰ So the men did so; they took two milking cows and harnessed them to the utility cart, but they shut up their calves in the stall.
