1 Samuel 6:3-5
New Life Version
1 Samuel 6:3-5
New Life Version
3 And they said, “If you send away the special box of the God of Israel, do not send it empty. But be sure to return to Him a sin gift. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why His hand does not turn away from you.” 4 Then they said, “What should we return to Him for a sin gift?” And they said, “Five sores made of gold and five gold mice, as many as there are Philistine leaders. For the same trouble was upon all of you and on your leaders. 5 So make objects to look like your sores and your mice that destroyed the land, and you will give honor to the God of Israel. It may be that He will be easier on you, your gods, and your land.

New International Version
1 Samuel 6:3-5
New International Version
3 They answered, “If you return the ark of the god of Israel, do not send it back to him without a gift;(A) by all means send a guilt offering(B) to him. Then you will be healed, and you will know why his hand(C) has not been lifted from you.”
4 The Philistines asked, “What guilt offering should we send to him?”
They replied, “Five gold tumors and five gold rats, according to the number(D) of the Philistine rulers, because the same plague(E) has struck both you and your rulers. 5 Make models of the tumors(F) and of the rats that are destroying the country, and give glory(G) to Israel’s god. Perhaps he will lift his hand from you and your gods and your land.
