1 Samuel 6:18-20
Names of God Bible
18 And the number of gold mice was the same as the number of Philistine cities belonging to the five rulers, including walled cities and farm villages. The large rock on which they put the ark of Yahweh is a witness.[a] It is still there today in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.
19 Elohim struck down some of the people from Beth Shemesh because they looked inside the ark of Yahweh. He struck down 70 people.[b] The people mourned because Yahweh struck them with such a great blow. 20 The people of Beth Shemesh asked, “Who can stand before Yahweh, this holy Elohim? And to which people will he go when he leaves us?”
