Ma ogtahay sababta uu Uzza u dhintay? Waxay u ekayd in Cuusaa uu niyo wanaagsan lahaa oo uu doonayay inuu ka ilaaliyo sanduuqa Ilaah inuu soo dhaco? Markaasaa Cuusaah taabtay sanduuqii, wuuna dhintay. What did Uzza do wrong? Why did God kill Uzza for touching the ark?
David decided to bring the ark of God back to Jerusalem
The ark of God stood in Kirjatjearim. During the days of Saul, the people of Israel didn’t inquire at all about the ark of God. Maya, no one cared about the ark of God. David decided to bring the ark of God back to his city and the whole congregation supported his plan. David’s plan was right in the eyes of all the people. But was the plan of David also right in the eyes of the Lord?
David and Israël went up to Baalah, to Kirjatjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up the ark of God.
They carried the ark of God in a new cart, out of the house of Abinadab.
Uzza and Ahio led the cart.
David and all Israel played before God with all their might, with singing, harps, psalteries, timbrels, cymbals, and trumpets. Laakin markaas ayay dhacday...
On the threshing floor of Chidon, the oxen stumbled. Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark of God to prevent the ark of God from falling.
God smote Uzza and Uzza died
But the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzza and God smote Uzza. Why did God smite Uzza? Because Uzza had put forth his hand to hold the ark of God. And so Uzza died before God (1 Taariikhdii 13:9-10).
David was displeased. Why was David displeased? Why was David angry with God about Uzza? David was displeased because God had made a breach upon Uzza.
Daa'uudna Ilaah buu ka baqay, waxaanan u malaynayaa in shirkii oo dhammu ay Ilaah ka baqeen. Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud sanduuqii Ilaah qudhiisa ma keenin, laakiinse xagga reer Cobeed Edoom, Gettite ah.
Oo saddex bilood ayaa sanduuqii axdiga Ilaah yiil gurigii Cobeed Edoom. Oo Rabbiguna waa barakeeyey Cobeed Edoom reerkiisii (2 Samuel 6, 1 Taariikhdii 13)
Kacaasinimada ereyga Eebbe
Markaad akhrido sheekadan, Way adag tahay in la fahmo sababta Ilaahay Cuusaa u dilay iyo sababta uu Cuusaah u dhintay markii Cuusaah taabtay sanduuqii. Iyadoo la tixgelinayo in Cuzza uu lahaa ujeeddooyin wanaagsan oo keliya. Cuusaa wuxuu damcay inuu ka ilaaliyo sanduuqa inuu dhaco, taasoo u muuqata camal wanaagsan.
Laakiin Ilaah uma arkin camalka Cuzza inuu yahay niyo wanaagsan, laakiin sida fal caasinimo oo ka dhan ah Eraygiisa iyo ku xad-gudub sharcigiisa.
Isku daygii ugu horreeyay ee Daa'uud wuxuu ahaa sida qorshaha aadanaha
When we take a closer look at David’s plan, to bring back the ark of God, it is very clear that David’s plan was a plan of man and not a plan after Doonista Eebbe.
David said to the people: and that it be of the Lord our God. But David’s actions showed that it was not according to God’s will, sababtoo ah;
David consulted man instead of God
Marka hore, David didn’t consult God about bringing back the ark of the Covenant. But David consulted the captains and every leader.
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 (1 Taariikhdii 15:13)
The ark was not carried by Levites
Marka labaad, David didn’t keep Amarka Eebbe: that the Levites were separated and appointed by God to care for and bear (carry) the ark of the Covenant of the Lord, after they had sanctified themselves.
At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister unto Him, and to bless in His Name, unto this day. (SHARIIN 10:8)
And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and unto all the elders of Israel (SHARIIN 31:9, read also a.o. Yashuuca 3:3-17, Yashuuca 4:10)
And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent. Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the Lord chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever. And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the Lord unto his place, which he had prepared for it (1 Taariikhdii 15:1-3)
They didn’t carry the ark upon their shoulders but on a self-made cart
Thirdly, they had put the ark of the Covenant of the Lord in a self-made cart, instead of carrying the ark with the staves upon their shoulders, as God had commanded Moses.
And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it (Baxniintii 25:14,15)
At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister unto Him, and to bless in His Name, unto this day. (SHARIIN 10:8)
Uzza died because Uzza wasn’t a Levite and touched the holy ark of God
Iyo ugu dambeyntiina ugu yaraan, which is also the reason why Uzza died: Uzza touched the ark of God, while Uzza wasn’t a Levite and was not sanctified and made holy to touch the holy ark of God. God had clearly warned the people of Israel, what would happen if someone, who wasn’t appointed and made holy, would touch any holy thing of the Lord.
When Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; intaas ka dib, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation (Tirooyinka 4:15)
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 (1 Taariikhdii 13:10)
David’s second attempt to bring up the ark of the Covenant of the Lord was according to God’s plan
The ark of the Covenant of the Lord had stayed in the house of Obededom for three months. After three months, David decided to bring the ark of the Covenant of the Lord to his city. But this time, David did it according to the will of God. David kept God’s commandments. Due to the fact that David kept the commandments of the Lord, God helped the Levites to carry the ark
So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of Obededom with joy. Oo waxay noqotay in la dhaafo, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams(1 Taariikhdii 15:25-26)
We can conclude from David’s and Uzza’s actions, that no action coming from a good intention, no matter how beautiful it may seem, shall justify any action that goes against the Word of God. God shall never approve something, that goes against His Word.
