Be careful how you touch that which is holy


1 Samuel 6:19-20 He struck of the men of Beth Shemesh, because they had looked into the Lord’s ark, he struck fifty thousand and seventy of the men. Then the people mourned, because the Lord had struck the people with a great slaughter. The men of Beth Shemesh said, “Who is able to stand before the Lord, this holy God?. . .

2 Samuel 6:6-7 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for God’s ark, and took hold of it; for the cattle stumbled. The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah; and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.
