And when they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.As the Ark of the Covenant is being moved, it is jostled by some oxen. A man reaches out to steady the box (presumably to keep it from falling) and God kills him for touching the sacred box.
~ King James version ~
Tao is not petty.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
Notwithstanding the fact that Tao strikes no one down, an impartial essence would not fall prey to petty emotions.
