BRAGADAYJAH 816
Now after the ark of the Lord was in
the land of the Philistines seven month during which the plague of sickness had
befallen them, the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners and
asked them what they should do, whether they should send the ark away to its
place? “Yes,” they were told, “send it away, but send it not away empty; but
whatever you do send it with a trespass offering that you may be healed and you
would know that it was the hand of God that was upon you.” So the people asked what shall be the nature
of the trespass offering. And they were
told, five golden emerods, and images of the mice that mar the land. Also they were told to give glory unto the
God of Israel. “Perhaps He would then lighten His hand from you and your gods
and your land.” “Remember,” they were
told, “how the Egyptians and Pharaoh had hardened their hearts and God had
shown His mighty power among them until they let his people go.”
