1 Samuel 6:9 in Context — 1 Samuel 6

7 Fazei, pois, agora um carro novo, e tomai logo duas vacas que criem, às quais não haja sido posto jugo, e preparai as vacas ao carro, e fazei voltar de detrás delas seus bezerros a casa.

8 Tomareis logo a arca do SENHOR, e a poreis sobre o carro; e ponde em uma caixa ao lado dela as joias de ouro que lhe pagais em expiação: e a deixareis que se vá.

9 E olhai: se sobe pelo caminho de seu termo a Bete-Semes, ele nos fez este mal tão grande; e se não, teremos certeza de que não foi sua mão que nos feriu, mas nos foi coincidência.

10 E aqueles homens o fizeram assim; pois tomando duas vacas que criavam, prepararam-nas ao carro, e encerraram em casa seus bezerros.

11 Logo puseram a arca do SENHOR sobre o carro, e a caixa com os ratos de ouro e com as formas de suas chagas.
