¹³ any who is at all drawing near unto the tabernacle of Jehovah dieth; have we not been consumed -- to expire?'

³ and of the fruit of the tree which `is' in the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest ye die.'

¹³ and now, in Christ Jesus, ye being once afar off became nigh in the blood of the Christ,

¹¹ and great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things.

¹² And through the hands of the apostles came many signs and wonders among the people, and they were with one accord all in the porch of Solomon;

¹³ and of the rest no one was daring to join himself to them, but the people were magnifying them,

¹⁴ (and the more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,)

⁵ and Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, did expire, and great fear came upon all who heard these things,

²² And now, show not yourselves scorners, Lest strong be your bands, For a consumption, that is determined, I have heard, by the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, `Is' for all the land.

³ If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

⁴ But with Thee `is' forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

⁷ For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.

¹⁴ If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth.

¹⁵ Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth.

¹³ because at the first `it was' not ye, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, because we sought Him not according to the ordinance.'

¹¹ And it is displeasing to David, because Jehovah hath made a breach upon Uzza, and one calleth that place `Breach of Uzza' unto this day.

¹² And David feareth God on that day, saying, `How do I bring in unto me the ark of God?'

¹³ And David hath not turned aside the ark unto himself, unto the city of David, and turneth it aside unto the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

⁶ And they come unto the threshing-floor of Nachon, and Uzzah putteth forth `his hand' unto the ark of God, and layeth hold on it, for they released the oxen;

⁷ and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Uzzah, and God smiteth him there for the error, and he dieth there by the ark of God.

⁸ And it is displeasing to David, because that Jehovah hath broken forth a breach upon Uzzah, and `one' calleth that place Perez-Uzzah, unto this day;

⁹ and David feareth Jehovah on that day, and saith, `How doth the ark of Jehovah come in unto me?'

¹⁰ And David hath not been willing to turn aside unto himself the ark of Jehovah, to the city of David, and David turneth it aside to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite,

¹¹ and the ark of Jehovah doth inhabit the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months, and Jehovah blesseth Obed-Edom and all his house.

¹² And it is declared to king David, saying, `Jehovah hath blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he hath, because of the ark of God;' and David goeth and bringeth up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the city of David with joy.

¹⁹ And He smiteth among the men of Beth-Shemesh, for they looked into the ark of Jehovah, yea, He smiteth among the people seventy men -- fifty chief men; and the people mourn, because Jehovah smote among the people -- a great smiting.

²⁰ And the men of Beth-Shemesh say, `Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? and unto whom doth He go up from us?'

²¹ And they send messengers unto the inhabitants of Kirjath-Jearim, saying, `The Philistines have sent back the ark of Jehovah; come down, take it up unto you.'

¹⁶ `And it cometh to pass, when all the men of battle have finished dying from the midst of the people,

¹³ and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He causeth them to wander in the wilderness forty years, until the consumption of all the generation which is doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah.

⁴ and they have been joined unto thee, and have kept the charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; and a stranger doth not come near unto you;

⁵ and ye have kept the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar, and there is no more wrath against the sons of Israel.

⁶ `And I, lo, I have taken your brethren the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel; to you a gift they are given by Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting;

⁷ and thou, and thy sons with thee, do keep your priesthood, for everything of the altar, and within the vail, and ye have served; a service of gift I make your priesthood; and the stranger who is coming near is put to death.'

²⁶ and he speaketh unto the company, saying, `Turn aside, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and come not against anything that they have, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.'

⁵¹ `And in the journeying of the tabernacle, the Levites take it down, and in the encamping of the tabernacle, the Levites raise it up; and the stranger who is coming near is put to death.'

⁵² And the sons of Israel have encamped, each by his camp, and each by his standard, by their hosts;

⁵³ and the Levites encamp round about the tabernacle of the testimony; and there is no wrath on the company of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have kept the charge of the tabernacle of the testimony.

¹⁹ Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus,

²⁰ which way he did initiate for us -- new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh --

²¹ and a high priest over the house of God,

²² may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed with pure water;
