Commissioned Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Q2. (2 Samuel 6:11-13) How should the ark have been transported? The Ark should have been transported by Levites. They were God's choice to carry the Arkof the Lord. How are Uzzah and David responsible if they don’t know the provisions of the Mosaic Law? Both are responsibile for knowing how to handle sacred objects because God's instructions were given to them in the Torah. What does David’s mistake in this incident teach us about seeking to do God’s will? David’s mistake in this incident teaches us that seeking to do God’s will always require that we stay in communion with Him and obey Him.

royk Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Q2. (2 Samuel 6:11-13) How should the ark have been transported? How are Uzzah and David responsible if they don't know the provisions of the Mosaic Law? What does David's mistake in this incident teach us about seeking to do God's will? Well I'm fearful at this moment, and hope this is burned into my mind and heart. It is more than a simple teaching; it is profound in its impact on the life of Uzzah and David. Uzzah's monument exist still today from our study text... So living a good life is important, living according to God's commandments and His will is key. Or who knows what will happen, bu it may not be good. Paying attention and not being self-centered, no mater what is important. Uzzah in a thoughtless moment felt he could be the solution. This was God's plan, all the details leading to his death. So that we can all see the consequences of not consulting the Lord as much as possible. Let us stop a moment, and praise the Lord for this awareness, that it may remain strong in us, or what is this study for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royk Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 We know that in the Old Testament, there are many rules identified, things that should be done by Levites, etc. In my church we only let deacons serve the bread and wine for communion. This assures it will be done with great respect and reverence. I hope and pray this will stick in my mind and change my attitude about praying more.

wifee Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 2a)1 Chronicles 15:2, 7:9&Deuteronomy 10:8; 31:9records that the LORD chose the Levites to carry the Ark. Numbers4:15specifies the Kohathite clan of the Levites is charged with carrying the sacred objects from the tabernacle.but they must not touch the holy things or go into look at the holy things using polesNumbers 4:8 b)God’s instructions were there for discovery.As leader of the celebration event David should done necessary research, either enquired of the Lord about carrying Ark if they didn’t know this part of Mosaic law,found out from existing records, or asked those that knew.Acting assuming they knew,is ignoring Mosaic law&no excuse. c)Has taught me not to do God’s work without accurate instruction and preparation,¬ taking scripture lightly.Enquiring of the Lord for the strength and guidance to do God’s will,to be truely obedient to the Lord.

cjenkins1388 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 After David finally researched the torah and consulted with God he realized that there were certian provisions to take when moving the Ark. David and Uzzah were responsible for knowing the Law, the same as we are responsible for knowing the law, which is still in effect today. If we speed and get caught we get a ticket even if we didn't know the speed limit on that road because before you drive on it you should know the law. Seeking God first is the best practice, but like David we want to make decisions on our own. Thank goodness we have a loving God who gives us second chances to make it right.

karynjg Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 (2 Samuel 6:11-13) How should the ark have been transported? How are Uzzah and David responsible if they don't know the provisions of the Mosaic Law? What does David's mistake in this incident teach us about seeking to do God's will? It's God's command to the Israelites to have the Levites carry the ark whenever it needs to be moved. Uzzah and David should have realized the seriousness of this task and taken steps to find out how to do it correctly to honor God. God has given us His complete word, as He gave the Israelites the Mosiac law, to seek and understand his will. It's our job to know His word, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinstonY Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Q2. (2 Samuel 6:11-13) How should the ark have been transported? How are Uzzah and David responsible if they don’t know the provisions of the Mosaic Law? What does David’s mistake in this incident teach us about seeking to do God’s will? "No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the LORD chose them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister before him forever." (1 Chronicles 15:2) Uzzah and David are responsible because they had not read and research the word of God. Before we embark on some work for God we should pray and seek God's word and his scripture before we attempt the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crissy464 Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Carried on one shoulders by wooden rods and only by the Levites They didn’t know the Mosiac Law, they should have asked the Lord how to transport the ark we should always be consistent in seeking and doing the will of the Lord.

Irmela Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Q2. (2 Samuel 6:11-13) How should the ark have been transported? How are Uzzah and David responsible if they don't know the provisions of the Mosaic Law? What does David's mistake in this incident teach us about seeking to do God's will? Exodus 25:14 & 15 You are to put the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark, in order to carry the Ark. The poles are to remain in the rings of the Ark, and not to be taken from it. Numbers 4:5 & 6 Aaron and his sons (the priests) were to take down the shielding curtain and cover the Ark of the Covenant with it. They were to cover this with porpoise hide, and spread over it a cloth of solid blue, Then put the poles in place. Numbers 4:15 The sons of Kohath were to do the carrying of the Sanctuary and the holy implements. But they were not to touch the holy items or they would die. The above were the instructions given to Moses when they moved from one place to the next. It's very easy as an outsider to say that they ought to have known as they were taught the Torah from small. One does not know what they had been taught and what they had not been taught. Even in the time of the Judges it is already mentioned that the generation, after Joshua and the elders who were alive after he died had also died , did not serve the Lord. David loved and served the Lord and definitely wanted to please Him in every aspect of life. As the Ark was the furniture that presided in the place called the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle, and was seen as God's earthly throne, David should have first consulted the Torah as to how it was to be carried. We are to seek God's will in all things. Nothing is too minor of importance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
