The gold replicas

1 Sam 6:17–19

6:17 The gold replicas

17 The gold replicas of tumours that the Pelishtim sent back as a guilt offering to Yahweh were for the five cities: Ashdod, Azah (Gaza), Ashkelon, Gat, and Ekron. 18 And the gold mice were from the number of all the Pelishti cities under the five rulers, including fortified cities as well as the villages in the open country, and as far as the large stone that they sat Yahweh’s box on. (It’s still in Yehoshua’s (Joshua’s) field in Beyt-Shemesh (Heliopolis) until this day.)

19 But some Beyt-Shemesh men looked into Yahweh’s box, and he killed seventy[fn] of them. The people mourned because Yahweh had caused such devastation among the people.

6:17 OSHB note: We read one or more accents in L differently than BHS. Often this notation indicates a typographical error in BHS.

6:19 OSHB note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.

6:19 TC: The oldest Hebrew text has 50,070 men being killed here, making it hard to imagine how that many men kept clambering over dead bodies to look into the sacred chest. (But possibly we’re not understanding the situation correctly?) We have followed later manuscripts here.
