A new cart and two cows

7Now then, take and make one new cart, and two nursing cows on which no yoke has come, and hitch the cows to the cart, but take their calves away from them to the house.

8Then take the ark of Yahweh and place it on the cart, and put the gold objects that you are returning to him as a guilt offering in a box beside it. Then send it away, and let it go.

9And watch: if it goes up by the way of its territory to Beth-shemesh, then he is the one who has done this great harm to us; but if not, then we will know that it was not his hand that struck us; it happened to us by chance.
