1 Samuel 6:8-10

New Life Version

⁸ Take the special box of the Lord and put it on the wagon. Put the objects of gold which you return to Him as a sin gift in a box by its side. Then send it away, and let it be gone. ⁹ And watch. If it goes on the way to its own land, to Bethshemesh, then He has done this very bad thing to us. But if not, then we will know that it was not His hand that destroyed us. It will have just happened for no reason.”

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