(Occurrence 0) Who is able to stand before Yahweh, this holy God?
(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said men_of house_of שֶׁמֶשׁ who? he/it_would_be_able to=stand to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH the=ʼElohīm the,holy the=this and=near/to who? it_will_ascend from,with,us )
This could mean: (1) this is a rhetorical question that expresses the people’s fear of Yahweh. Alternate translation: “There is no one who can resist Yahweh because he is so holy!” or (2) this is a question asking for information. The phrase “stand before Yahweh” may refer to priests who serve Yahweh. It is implied that the people were looking for a priest whom Yahweh would permit to handle the ark. Alternate translation: “Is there a priest among us who serves this holy God, Yahweh, and is able to handle this ark?” (See also: figs-explicit)

(Occurrence 0) To whom will the ark go up from us?

This is a question asking for information. It is implied that the people want Yahweh and the ark to go somewhere else so he will not punish them again. Alternate translation: “Where can we send this ark so that Yahweh will not punish us again?”
6:20 Who is able to stand? Even God’s people were not immune to his wrath when his holiness was violated.
• Where can we send the Ark? When faced with God’s holiness, the Israelites echoed the distress of the pagan Philistines (6:2).
