De svarte: Hvis dere sender tilbake Israels Gud ark, må dere ikke sende den uten en gave. Send en skyldoffer sammen med den, da vil dere få fred igjen, og det blir klart for dere hvorfor hans hånd ikke har blitt løftet fra dere.
And they said, If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it without an offering, but send him a sin-offering with it: then you will have peace again, and it will be clear to you why the weight of his hand has not been lifted from you.
