Bible Versions

And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, [then] he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that [it is] not his hand [that] smote us: it [was] a chance [that] happened to us.
And see {H7200}, if it goeth up {H5927} by the way {H1870} of his own coast {H1366} to Bethshemesh {H1053}, then he hath done {H6213} us this great {H1419} evil {H7451}: but if not, then we shall know {H3045} that it is not his hand {H3027} that smote {H5060} us: it was a chance {H4745} that happened to us {H1961}.
but watch to see if it goes up the road to Beit-Shemesh in its own territory. If it does, he is responsible for this great tragedy; if not, we will know that it is not his oppression which has been over us, but that what has been happening to us has been only by chance."
but keep watching it. If it goes up the road to its homeland, toward Beth-shemesh, it is the LORD who has brought on us this great disaster. But if it does not, then we will know that it was not His hand that punished us and that it happened by chance.”
And see; if it goeth up by the way of its own border to Beth-shemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened to us.
