1 Samuel 6:8 in Context — 1 Samuel 6

6 Mas ¿por qué endurecéis vuestro corazón, como los Egipcios y Faraón endurecieron su corazón? Después que los hubo [así] tratado, ¿no los dejaron que se fuesen, y se fueron?

7 Haced pues ahora un carro nuevo, y tomad luego dos vacas que críen, á las cuales no haya sido puesto yugo, y uncid las vacas al carro, y haced tornar de detrás de ellas sus becerros á casa.

8 Tomaréis luego el arca de Jehová, y la pondréis sobre el carro; y poned en una caja al lado de ella las alhajas de oro que le pagáis en expiación: y la dejaréis que se vaya.

9 Y mirad: si sube por el camino de su término á Beth-semes, él nos ha hecho este mal [tan] grande; y si no, seremos ciertos que su mano no nos hirió, nos ha sido accidente.

10 Y aquellos hombres lo hicieron así; pues tomando dos vacas que criaban, unciéronlas al carro, y encerraron en casa sus becerros.
