1 Samuel 6:5 in Context — 1 Samuel 6

3 Ils répondirent: Si vous renvoyez l’arche du Dieu d’Israël, ne la renvoyez point à vide, mais faites à Dieu un sacrifice de culpabilité; alors vous guérirez, et vous saurez pourquoi sa main ne s’est pas retirée de dessus vous.

4 Les Philistins dirent: Quelle offrande lui ferons-nous? Ils répondirent: Cinq tumeurs d’or et cinq souris d’or, d’après le nombre des princes des Philistins, car une même plaie a été sur vous tous et sur vos princes.

5 Faites des figures de vos tumeurs et des figures de vos souris qui ravagent le pays, et donnez gloire au Dieu d’Israël: peut-être cessera-t-il d’appesantir sa main sur vous, sur vos dieux, et sur votre pays.

6 Pourquoi endurciriez-vous votre cœur, comme les Égyptiens et Pharaon ont endurci leur cœur? N’exerça-t-il pas ses châtiments sur eux, et ne laissèrent-ils pas alors partir les enfants d’Israël?

7 Maintenant, faites un char tout neuf, et prenez deux vaches qui allaitent et qui n’aient point porté le joug; attelez les vaches au char, et ramenez à la maison leurs petits qui sont derrière elles.
