And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the Elohim of Yisrael shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our Elohim.
For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Kmosh shall go forth into captivity with his kohanim and his princes together.
YY -TZvaot, the Elohim of Yisrael, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their elohim, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:
Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty elohim? these are the elohim that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.
And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve YY their Elohim: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
Then Pharaoh called for Moshe and Aharon, and said, Intreat YY , that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto YY .
They sent therefore and gathered all YY s of the Plishtim unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the Elohim of Yisrael? And they answered, Let the ark of the Elohim of Yisrael be carried about unto Gat. And they carried the ark of the Elohim of Yisrael about thither.
