因为你们上一次没有抬这约柜，并且我们没有按规矩求问耶和华—我们的上帝，所以他冲出来攻击我们。”

因为你们上一次没有抬这约柜，并且我们没有按规矩求问耶和华—我们的神，所以他冲出来攻击我们。”

先前你们没有抬约柜，我们也没有按规矩求问我们的上帝耶和华，以致祂向我们发怒。”

先前没有你们，耶和华我们的神就击打我们，因为我们没有按照定例寻求他。”

因你們先前沒有擡這約櫃，按定例求問耶和華－我們的神，所以他刑罰我們。」

因為你們上一次沒有抬這約櫃，並且我們沒有按規矩求問耶和華－我們的上帝，所以他衝出來攻擊我們。」

因為你們上一次沒有抬這約櫃，並且我們沒有按規矩求問耶和華－我們的神，所以他衝出來攻擊我們。」

先前沒有你們，耶和華我們的神就擊打我們，因為我們沒有按照定例尋求他。”

因為你們先前沒有這樣作過；永恆主我們的上帝便突擊了我們，因為我們沒有按規矩尋問他。』

爾曹初未舁之、亦未循例尋求上帝、故我上帝耶和華擊我儕、

爾初行此、不循常例、故上帝耶和華譴責我儕。

爾曹初未行此、我儕未循所定之例、求問主我之天主、故主我之天主降災於我儕、

It was because you, the Levites, did not bring it up the first time that the Lord our God broke out in anger against us. We did not inquire of him about how to do it in the prescribed way.”

Remember when the anger of the Lord our God broke out against us? That’s because it wasn’t you Levites who tried to carry up the ark the first time. We didn’t ask the Lord how to do it in the way the law requires.”

Because you did not carry it the first time, the Lord our God broke out against us, because we did not seek him according to the rule.”

Because you Levites did not carry the Ark the first time, the anger of the Lord our God burst out against us. We failed to ask God how to move it properly.”

For the LORD our God burst out in anger against us because you Levites were not with us the first time, for we didn’t inquire of him about the proper procedures.”

Because you did not carry it at the first, the Lord our God made an outburst against us, since we did not seek Him according to the ordinance.”

For because you did not do it the first time, the Lord our God broke out against us, because we did not consult Him about the proper order.”

For because ye bare it not at the first, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not according to the ordinance.

For the Lord our God burst out in anger against us because you Levites were not with us the first time, for we didn’t inquire of Him about the proper procedures.”

For because ye[ did it] not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

The first time you did not carry it; that is why the LORD God attacked us, because we did not ask him about the proper way to carry it.”

For because you didn’t carry it at first, Yahweh our God broke out in anger against us, because we didn’t seek him according to the ordinance.”

They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart (niv)

But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. (niv)

I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you. (niv)

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.Then David was angry because the Lord’s wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah. (niv)

But Moses did not give any to the Kohathites, because they were to carry on their shoulders the holy things, for which they were responsible. (niv)

Then David said,“ No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the Lord chose them to carry the ark of the Lord and to minister before him forever.” (niv)

So Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the Levitical priests, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel. (niv)

Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. (niv)

They moved the ark of God from Abinadab’s house on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding it.David and all the Israelites were celebrating with all their might before God, with songs and with harps, lyres, timbrels, cymbals and trumpets.When they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the ark, because the oxen stumbled.The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.Then David was angry because the Lord’s wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah. (niv)

“ After Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy furnishings and all the holy articles, and when the camp is ready to move, only then are the Kohathites to come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy things or they will die. The Kohathites are to carry those things that are in the tent of meeting. (niv)

Since many in the crowd had not consecrated themselves, the Levites had to kill the Passover lambs for all those who were not ceremonially clean and could not consecrate their lambs to the Lord.Although most of the many people who came from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover, contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying,“ May the Lord, who is good, pardon everyonewho sets their heart on seeking God— the Lord, the God of their ancestors— even if they are not clean according to the rules of the sanctuary.”And the Lord heard Hezekiah and healed the people.
