BRAGADAYJAH 818
The Ark Sent Away
The Philistines decided to return the
ark of God together with the trespass offerings. The mode was to make a new cart to be drawn
by two milk cows, that have never been yoked, and the ark of the Lord placed on
the cart. And they put the ark of God on
the cart and the jewels of gold for a trespass offering and sent it away. And
the cows took the straight path via Bethshemesh, and went along the highway,
lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right or to the left; and the
lords of the Philistines walked behind them up to the border of Bethshemesh.
Now the people of Bethshemesh were at the time reaping their wheat harvest in
the valley, and they looked up and saw the ark and rejoiced to see it. And the
cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood still beside a
great stone; and the people opened the cart and offered the cow a burnt
offering unto the Lord. And the Levites took down the ark of the Lord and the
coffer that was with it and the jewels within the coffer and put them in the
great stone; and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrifices
the same day unto the Lord.
