		Uzzah did not die as a humble man who made a well-meaning mistake, but as a man with a serious attitude problem.
		Uzzah was one of Abinadab's sons and, since he is not named in 1 Samuel 7:1-2, he seemingly grew up from infancy to adulthood with this strange piece of holy furniture sitting in his family's shed or back room.
		Uzzah's story, and that of Nadab and Abihu, clearly illustrate the hazard involved in irreverence, which manifests itself in many forms of disobedience.

	Commentary on the Whole Bible (iii.x.vii)
		Uzzah thereupon laid hold of it, to save it from falling, we have reason to think with a very good intention, to preserve the reputation of the ark and to prevent a bad omen.
		Uzzah was a Levite, but priests only might touch the ark. The law was express concerning the Kohathites, that, though they were to carry the ark by the staves, yet they must not touch any holy thing, lest they die, Num.
		He saw Uzzah struck dead for touching it, and perceived that David himself was afraid of meddling with it; yet he cheerfully invites it to his own house, and opens his doors to it without fear, knowing it was a savour of death unto death only to those that treated it ill.

		Uzzah is a story that is easily misunderstood because of stereotypes that persist about God.
		Uzzah’s was not some novice or newcomer – his family had been in charge of the ark for years.

		Uzzah immediately reached out and took hold of the ark. God reacted, striking down Uzzah, and he died.
		It is impossible to know the mental state of Uzzah as he reached out to seize the ark. One could argue that he was sincerely interested in protecting it.
		It could also be that since the ark had been in his house for several years, Uzzah was too familiar with it and lost some of the deference he should have had for its holiness.

		Uzzah, one of the priests charged with transfering the Ark, put out his hand to prevent the Ark from striking the ground.
		Uzzah ignored, perhaps defied Moses’ clear directions on the proper handling the Ark. It was not to be touched with human hands, but carried by Levites using poles inserted through rings attached to the Ark. Only the poles could be touched.

		Uzzah, not wanting the ark of God to fall, reached out his hand and put it on the ark to steady it.

		Uzzah was clearly a well intentioned man who made a deadly mistake (2 Samuel 6:3-11).
		While the Ark of God (Ark of the Covenant) was being transported it appeared to Uzzah that it might fall over so Uzzah grabbed the Ark to support it.
		But while Uzzah was preoccupied with his worry about the Ark, he forgot God's commands.

		The sin of Uzzah is being repeated over and over by church leaders.
		Israel was in a celebratory mood - the leaders were rallying around David - the decision was made to return the ark of the covenant to its deserved place of prominence - all the signs pointed to a mountaintop spiritual experience of joyful celebration.
		Uzzah perceived a developing problem and took matters into his own hands to try to play "fix-it" - the type of assistance that God does not need and will not bless.

		God would hereby strike an awe upon the thousands of Israel, would convince them that the ark was never the less venerable for its having been so long in mean circumstances, and thus he would teach them to rejoice with trembling, and always to treat holy things with reverence and holy fear.

	A Reconstructionist Dvar Torah - Parshat Shemini (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Uzzah, one of the two sons of Abinadab the man who guarded the Ark while its new abode was being prepared, reached out his hand to steady the teetering Ark. At this "YHVH grew furious with Uzzah and God struck him down on the spot" (6:7).
		What are we to make of Uzzah’s untimely and violent death as a result of touching the Ark? Rashi attempts to decipher meaning from this by mentioning a cryptic talmudic passage that teaches that when God wants to protect the Ark no human intervention is needed.
		It would appear that Uzzah’s only "sin", despite his noble intention, was to breach the boundary of the sacred Ark of the Eternal and touch it when he was not supposed to.

	USCCB - NAB - 2 Samuel 6
		When they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzzah reached out his hand to the ark of God and steadied it, for the oxen were making it tip.

	Why did God kill people who touched the Ark?
		David and the whole house of Israel were celebrating with all their might before the Lord, with songs and with harps, lyres, tambourines, sistrums and cymbals.
		The Lord's anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down and he died there beside the ark of God.
		Hence, when Uzzah touched the ark, he was profaning it and disobeying God; he should have grabbed the poles used for carrying the ark instead, for that was their purpose (Ex 25:14-15).

		Uzzah, one of the priests who was driving the cart, grabbed the ark to keep it from falling.
		The first mistake that Uzzah (and all the Israelites with him) made was in selecting the wrong method by which to move the ark. The new cart was an idea taken straight from the Philistine transportation handbook and completely ignored God's simple instructions (cf.

	Reflections #23
		In other words, the story of Uzzah has been used to instill "the fear of God" in those disciples who might be inclined to walk outside the party parameters.
		The transgression of Uzzah, therefore, has been linked to such "deadly deeds" as using multiple cups in the Lord's Supper, having Sunday School classes, eating in the building, and using pitch pipes.
		First, those who were carrying the ark (Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab) were not of the tribe of Levi, nor of the household of Kohath.

	Uzza; Uzzah (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools
		From the text of 2 Samuel 6:3-8, as generally corrected with the help of Septuagint, it is supposed that Uzzah walked by the side of the ark while Ahio (or "his brother") went in front of it.
		The older commentators regarded the death as provoked by non-observance of the provisions about the ark as given in the Pentateuch, but it is generally believed today that these were not known in David's time.
		What is clear is that Uzzah's act led to an accident of some kind, and the event was regarded by David as inauspicious, so that the journey with the ark was discontinued.

		And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.
		Some may think that God was unreasonably harsh on Uzzah to kill him for such a “minor” offence.
		Uzzah was presumptuous to think that God would let the ark fall onto the ground — it never did!

	Measure Of Reverence
		The Lord's anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down and he died beside the ark of God" (2 Samuel 6:6-7).
		At first consideration, the account of Uzzah and the ark is hard to swallow.
		The awesomeness, the holiness, the majesty of God dwelled right there, between the cherubim on that sacred ark! Until God was incarnate among men many centuries later in the person of Jesus Christ, the ark was the sacred center of God's glory and presence.

		As they are transporting the Ark back to Jerusalem the oxen carrying it stumble, and a well meaning priest, Uzzah, puts out his hand to steady it--God immediately strikes Him dead.
		As a priest Uzzah was well aware of the laws concerning the Ark--touch it and die.
		When God Struck down Uzzah, the Lord showed David His presence means a holiness that should not be presumed upon, and when the Lord blessed the house of Obed-Edom, he showed David a grace that SHOULD be relied upon--both must be held together!

		Actions like the murder of Uzzah are frequently defended with the supreme authority argument.
		Both the original no-touch rule and the wanton destruction of Uzzah (who only wanted to help) are characteristic of the kind of small-mindedness we ordinarily hold in contempt.
		The terminally abusive treatment of Uzzah is just one of many instances enabling a perceptive reader to see that Jehovah's conduct falls far short of justifying the stream of uncritical praise constantly heaped on him.

		Uzzah's unfortunate act of reaching out to touch the ark was truly a final step in the wrong direction.
		For this to be a true parallel to the Uzzah situation, one would have to REPLACE singing with something entirely different.
		Now we have a parallel to the Uzzah incident (assuming, of course, that the two passages by Paul really DO pertain to a "public worship assembly," which I do not believe they do).

		It seems harsh that, concerned that the Ark might fall over and be damaged, that Uzzah should die because he reached out to steady it.
		That which happened to Uzzah was written that we might understand God's character.
		I suspect that the final and unequivocable rejection of this persistent and faithful conviction ("slamming the door in the Spirit's face" if you will) is what is meant by the blasphemy against the Spirit, but that's another question.
