NASB | 2 Samuel 6:6 ¶ But when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen nearly upset it. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Samuel 6:6 ¶ When they came to Nacon's threshing floor, Uzzah reached out [with his hand] to the ark of God and took hold of it, because the oxen [stumbled and] nearly overturned it. |
Bible Question: Why would God kill Uzzah when he tried to stop the Ark from tipping over? |
Bible Answer: The inverse of this question is why didn't God kill those who broke his command and had the ark carried by oxen instead of the men who were assigned the task. In this passage, although God exercises judgement on the sin of Uzzah, it must be clearly noted that he exercised grace concerning the sins of the others present. "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23) Unfortunately many find themselves trapped into thinking that the Old Testament teaches judgement, and the New Testament teaches grace. This is an example of grace from the Old Testament. |
