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.
Šo noteikumu neievērošana izraisīja nelaimi. Kad vērši, kas vilka ratus, tos gandrīz apgāza, Uza, kurš acīmredzot bija levīts, taču noteikti nebija priesteris, izstiepa roku, lai pieturētu šķirstu, un parādītās necieņas dēļ viņu skāra Jehovas dusmas. ( 2. Samuēla 6: 6, 7.)
