Reply To: Story of Uza in Tanach

To all, thanks for your ideas. Charlie, the Nosei es Nosav is in Rashi there, I believe. Nevertheless, why a person should die for trying to help, is still troubling. It must be, as mentioned by Oomis that they should have seen enough miracles not to worry. (The falling of the Philistine idols in the Aron’s presence.) Still, one could ask why the Aron required a wagon at all. Why did it not just levitate and travel on its own? I suppose the answer is that would be a nes goluy. Anyway, one thing we do see is that things were much different in the time of Tanach than nowadays, where there is hester ponim.
