When the cattle pulling the wagon nearly caused it to tip over, Uzzah, who was likely a Levite but certainly not a priest, reached out to steady the Ark and was struck down by Jehovah for his irreverence. — 2 Samuel 6: 6, 7.
Kui vankrit vedanud veised selle peaaegu ümber ajasid, haaras Ussa — kes oli küll tõenäoliselt leviit, kuid kindlasti mitte preester — seaduselaekast kinni, et seda toetada, mispeale Jehoova ta taolise lugupidamatuse pärast maha lõi.
