Bible Question: I have always been a Christian Girl but I just resently started reading my Bible and I have a Question Why would the lord kill 70 men just for looking into his ark? Please write me back at becsweetypi999@aol.com with the answer |
Bible Answer: Please see Deut 29:29... God is thrice Holy... He is very exacting in how He is to be approached. Treating Him or anything He has declared as Holy as a common thing brings down His eventual wrath. The wonder is not that He killed 70... the wonder is that He spared any! |
