1 Samuel 6:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ Then take the ark of the Lord and set it on the cart. And put the images of gold, which you return to Him for a guilt offering, in a box by the side. And send it away, that it may go. ⁹ See, if it goes up by the way of His own territory to Beth Shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then we will know that it is not His hand that struck us; it was by chance that it happened to us.”

¹⁰ The men did so. And they took two milk cows, tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.
