[13:10]  1 tn Heb “and the anger of the Lord burned against Uzzah.”

[13:10]  2 tn Heb “because he stretched out his hand over the ark.”

[13:10]  3 sn The modern reader might think God seemed to overreact here, but Israel needed a vivid object lesson of God’s holiness. By loading the ark on a cart, David had violated the instructions in God’s law (Exod 25:12-14; Num 4:5-6, 15). Uzzah’s action, however innocent it may seem, betrayed a certain lack of reverence for God’s presence. God had to remind his people that his holiness could not under any circumstances be violated.

[13:11]  4 tn Heb “because the Lord broke out [with] breaking out [i.e., an outburst] against Uzzah.”

[13:11]  5 sn The name Perez Uzzah means in Hebrew “the outburst [against] Uzzah.”

[13:2]  6 tn Heb “If to you [it is] good and from the Lord our God.”

[13:2]  7 tn Heb “let us spread and let us send.” The words “the word” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[13:2]  8 tn Heb “in the cities of their pasturelands.”
