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.

Οι δε ειπον, Εαν εξαποστειλητε την κιβωτον του Θεου του Ισραηλ, μη αποστειλητε αυτην κενην· αλλα κατα παντα τροπον αποδοτε εις αυτον προσφοραν περι ανομιας· τοτε θελετε ιαθη και θελετε γνωρισει δια τι η χειρ αυτου δεν απεσυρθη απο σας.

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 trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.

They said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, don’t send it empty; but by all means return a trespass offering to him. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.”
