Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
Give glory unto the God of Israel. By these propitiatory presents the Philistines would acknowledge His power, and make reparation for the injury done to His ark.
Lighten his hand ... from off your gods - Elohim for god.
