Shmuel Alef 6:9-11

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁹ And see: if it [the Aron Hashem] goeth up by the derech of its own territory [i.e., Eretz Yisroel] toward Beit Shemesh, then He hath done us this ra’ah hagedolah (great disaster); but if not, then we shall know that it is not His Yad that struck us; the evil came upon us mikreh (by chance, by accident).

¹⁰ And the anashim did so; and took two milch cows, and hitched them to the agalah, and penned up their calves babayit;

¹¹ And they laid the Aron Hashem upon the agalah, and the box with the akhbarim of zahav and the tzalmei techorim (likenesses of tumors) of theirs.
