1 Chronicles 13:9,10 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

This awful breach upon Uzzah, holds forth a solemn lesson. All approaches to God must be done with an holy awe and reverence. Though we have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, yet that boldness, it should be remembered, is not in us, but Jesus. / will be sanctified (saith God) in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. Leviticus 10:3.

1 Chronicles 13:9-10

9 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon,d Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

10 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.
