וְהָֽאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר לֹא־מֵתוּ הֻכּוּ בעפלים וַתַּעַל שַֽׁוְעַת הָעִיר הַשָּׁמָֽיִם
And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods; and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
וַיְהִי אֲרוֹן־יְהוָה בִּשְׂדֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים שִׁבְעָה חֳדָשִֽׁים
And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
וַיִּקְרְאוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים לַכֹּהֲנִים וְלַקֹּֽסְמִים לֵאמֹר מַֽה־נַּעֲשֶׂה לַאֲרוֹן יְהוָה הוֹדִעֻנוּ בַּמֶּה נְשַׁלְּחֶנּוּ לִמְקוֹמֽוֹ
And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: ‘What shall we do with the ark of the LORD? declare unto us wherewith we shall send it to its place.’
וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִֽם־מְשַׁלְּחִים אֶת־אֲרוֹן אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אַל־תְּשַׁלְּחוּ אֹתוֹ רֵיקָם כִּֽי־הָשֵׁב תָּשִׁיבוּ לוֹ אָשָׁם אָז תֵּרָֽפְאוּ וְנוֹדַע לָכֶם לָמָּה לֹא־תָסוּר יָדוֹ מִכֶּֽם
And they said: ‘If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return Him a guilt-offering; then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why His hand is not removed from you.’
וַיֹּאמְרוּ מָה הָאָשָׁם אֲשֶׁר נָשִׁיב לוֹ וַיֹּאמְרוּ מִסְפַּר סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים חֲמִשָּׁה עפלי זָהָב וַחֲמִשָּׁה עַכְבְּרֵי זָהָב כִּֽי־מַגֵּפָה אַחַת לְכֻלָּם וּלְסַרְנֵיכֶֽם
Then said they: ‘What shall be the guilt-offering which we shall return to Him?’ And they said: ‘Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines; for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
