2Sam 6:1-17:
6:1 The Box with the agreement is brought to Yerushalem
(1 Chr. 13:1-14; 15:25–16:6; 43)
6 Then David selected thirty thousand Israeli warriors and gathered them together. 2 He led them to Kiryat-Yearim (formerly called Ba’alah) in Yehudah (Judah) to get the box of God (whose name is Commander-in-chief Yahweh) who lives between the two winged creatures on the top of it.[ref] 3 They placed the sacred chest on a newly-made cart and started moving it from Avinadav’s house which was on a hill.[ref] Uza and Ahyo (Avinadav’s sons) were leading the cart. 4 They took it from Avinadav’s house and Ahyo took the lead in front. 5 David and all the Israelis were celebrating in God’s presence with wooden harps and lyres, along with tambourines, shakers, and cymbals.
6 But when they reached Nakon’s threshing floor the oxen stumbled so Uza reached out to steady the sacred chest. 7 Yahweh became furious with Uza and killed him right there by the sacred chest because he’d touched it. 8 Now David got angry because of Yahweh’s outburst against Uza, and that place has been called Perets-Uza (meaning ‘The punishment of Uza’) until today. 9 David was afraid of Yahweh that day and asked, “How will Yahweh’s box get to Yerushalem (Jerusalem)?” 10 So he decided not to take Yahweh’s box there and redirected it instead to the house of Oved-Edom (a Giti). 11 The sacred chest stayed at Oved-Edom’s house for three months, and Yahweh blessed him and all the household.[ref]
12 Someone told King David, “Yahweh has blessed Oved-Edom’s household because of the sacred chest,” so David went and brought God’s Box from Oved-Edom’s house to Yerushalem with much happiness. 13 When the men who were carrying the sacred chest had walked six steps, they stopped and David sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf there. 14 ⇔Then David, wearing a linen apron, danced in front of Yahweh, putting everything into it. 15 David and all the Israelis brought the sacred chest into Yerushalem with shouting and trumpet blasts.
16 However, as they were entering the city, David’s wife Mikal (Sha’ul’s (Saul’s) daughter) looked out the window and saw King David leaping and dancing in front of Yahweh, and she felt only despite for him. 17 They took Yahweh’s box and placed it in the middle of the tent that David had erected for it. Then David offered burnt sacrifices to Yahweh, as well as peace offerings.
1Ch 13:5-14:
5 So David assembled all of Yisrael (Israel), from everywhere from the Shihor river down in Mitsrayim (Egypt) to as far north as Levo-Hamat, to bring in God’s box from Kiryat-Yearim.[ref] 6 Then David and all of Yisrael went to Kiryat-Yearim (also known as Ba’alah, in Yehudah (Judah)), to bring up from there the box of God Yahweh who sits over the winged creatures.[ref] The box is used when calling his name to request help. 7 They transported God’s box on a new cart from Avinadav’s house, and Uza and Ahyo were leading the cart, 8 and David and all of Yisrael were celebrating in front of God with all their energy, with songs, and with lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
9 However, just as they were passing Kidon’s threshing floor, the oxen stumbled and Uza reached out to steady the box. 10 That made Yahweh very angry with Uza, and he struck him down because he’d reached out to touch the box, and he died right there in front of God. 11 That in turn made David angry because Yahweh had burst out against Uza, and he named that place Perets-Uza (which means ‘outburst against Uza’), which it’s still called, to this day.
12 David was afraid of God that day and asked himself, “How can I possibly bring God’s box to where I am in Yerushalem (Jerusalem)?” 13 So David gave up on bringing the box to where he was in David’s city, and instead he took it into the nearby house belonging to Oved-Edom the Giti. 14 So God’s box stayed at Oved-Edom’s house for three months, and Yahweh blessed Oved-Edom’s home and everything that belonged to him.[ref]
15:25–16:1:
25 So David, the Israeli elders, and the top army commanders went to get the box containing Yahweh’s agreement from Oved-Edom’s house with much celebration. 26 Indeed, God helped the Levites carrying the box containing Yahweh’s agreement, and they slaughtered seven bulls and seven rams. 27 David was wearing a fine-linen robe, and so were all the Levites carrying the box, and the singers, and the choir director Kenanyah. In addition, David wore a linen chestpiece. 28 So all of Yisrael (Israel) brought the box containing Yahweh’s agreement up the hill with happy shouting, and with a sound of a ram’s horn, and with trumpets and cymbals, along with the sound of harps and lyres.
29 As the box containing Yahweh’s agreement was being brought inside David’s city, Mikal (Sha’ul’s (Saul’s) daughter) looked out the window and saw her husband, King David, dancing and celebrating, and she secretly despised him.
16 Then they brought in God’s box and put it in the middle of the tent that David had erected for it, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings in front of God.
Exo 38:1-7:
38 Then Betsalel made the altar for burning offerings from acacia wood. It was square—2.5m on each side—and 1.5m tall. 2 From the same piece of wood, he made horn-like projections for each of the four corners, then he overlaid it all with bronze. 3 He made all the utensils for the altar: the pots and shovels, basins and meat-forks, and the firepans—all made from bronze. 4 He made a grating for the altar—a bronze lattice that fitted down in the middle of the altar, 5 and he cast the grating with rings on the four corners as holders for the carrying poles. 6 He made the acacia wood poles and overlaid them with bronze 7 and he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar so they could carry it with them. He made the altar hollow using boards.
