1 SAMUEL 6:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the Lord: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Beth–shemite.”
And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and country villages. The great stone, beside which they set down the ark of the LORD, is a witness to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh—the *avanim* (stone) becomes *ed* (witness), a lasting memorial. The phrase *ad hayom hazeh* (to this day) confirms the continuity of memory; the stone testifies eternally to the LORD's power.
