4 They asked, “What restitution offering should we send back to Him?”
And they answered, “Five gold tumors and five gold mice(A) corresponding to the number of Philistine rulers,(B) since there was one plague for both you[a] and your rulers. 5 Make images of your tumors and of your mice that are destroying the land. Give glory to Israel’s God,(C) and perhaps He will stop oppressing you,[b](D) your gods, and your land.(E)

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(A) of the Philistine rulers, because the same plague(B) has struck both you and your rulers. 5 Make models of the tumors(C) and of the rats that are destroying the country, and give glory(D) to Israel’s god. Perhaps he will lift his hand from you and your gods and your land.
