I have no words for this chapter. I do wonder why we consider Uzzas death a punishnent. When someone we know dies we say they went to be with the Lord like it's a good thing. Honestly Israel sounds like a real gnarly place to be and I think Uzza got the good end of the deal. As far as dancing with the slave girls; material blessings following the ark around, etc.; sounds a lot like some of the pagan religion at that time. Hmmm.... just wierd. And Greg I'm curious about your quote from mathew and what the relevance was to this chapter. I didn't catch the connection.
