6 But the hand of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was heavy upon them of Ashdod [powerful], and he destroyed them, and struck them with hemorrhoids, [even] Ashdod [powerful] and the coasts thereof.

7 And when the men of Ashdod [powerful] saw that [it was] so, they said, The ark of the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.

8 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the P’lishtim [Immigrants] unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]? And they answered, Let the ark of the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] be carried about unto Gat [Winepress]. And they carried the ark of the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] about [there].

9 And it was [so], that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was against the city with a very great destruction: and he struck the men of the city, both small and great, and they had hemorrhoids in their secret parts.

10 Therefore they sent the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] to ‘Ekron [Torn Up by the Roots]. And it came to pass, as the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] came to ‘Ekron [Torn Up by the Roots], that the ‘Ekron [Torn Up by the Roots] cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to us, to slay us and our people.

11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and said, Send away the ark of the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] was very heavy there.
