1 Samuel 6:6-8

English Standard Version

⁶ Why should you harden your hearts as ^(A)the Egyptians and ^(B)Pharaoh hardened their hearts? After he had dealt severely with them, ^(C)did they not send the people away, and they departed? ⁷ Now then, take and prepare ^(D)a new cart and two milk cows ^(E)on which there has never come a yoke, and yoke the cows to the cart, but take their calves home, away from them. ⁸ And take the ark of the Lord and place it on the cart and put in a box at its side ^(F)the figures of gold, which you are returning to him as ^(G)a guilt offering. Then send it off and let it go its way
