4 They asked, “What restitution offering should we send back to Him?”

And they answered, “Five gold tumors and five gold mice(A) corresponding to the number of Philistine rulers,(B) since there was one plague for both you(a) and your rulers.
5 Make images of your tumors and of your mice that are destroying the land. Give glory to Israel’s God,(C) and perhaps He will stop oppressing you,(b)(D) your gods, and your land.(E)
