"And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Moses,ª Go down,ª° chargeª° the people,ª lest¹ they break throughª° unto¹ the LORDª to gaze,ª° and manyª of¹ them perish.ª°" {Exd 19:21} + "And Nadabª and Abihu,ª the sonsª of Aaron,ª tookª° eitherª of them his censer,ª and putª° fireª therein,ª and putª° incenseª thereon,¹ and offeredª° strangeª° fireª beforeª the LORD,ª which¹ he commandedª° them not.¹ ... Then Mosesª saidª° unto¹ Aaron,ª This¹ [is it] that¹ the LORDª spake,ª° saying,ª° I will be sanctifiedª° in them that come nighª me, and beforeª¹ all¹ the peopleª I will be glorified.ª° And Aaronª held his peace.ª°" {Lev 10:1-3} + "This¹ [shall be] the serviceª of the sonsª of Kohathª in the tabernacleª of the congregation,ª [about] the most² holy things:ª ... And when the campª setteth forward,ª° Aaronª shall come,ª° and his sons,ª and they shall take downª° the coveringª¹ vail,ª and coverª°¹ the arkª of testimonyª with it:" {Num 4:4-5} + "And when Aaronª and his sonsª have made an endª° of coveringª°¹ the sanctuary,ª and all¹ the vesselsª of the sanctuary,ª as the campª is to set forward;ª° afterª that,¹ the sonsª of Kohathª shall comeª° to bearª° [it]: but they shall not¹ touchª°¹ [any] holy thing,ª lest they die.ª° These¹ [things are] the burdenª of the sonsª of Kohathª in the tabernacleª of the congregation.ª" {Num 4:15} + "But they shall not¹ go inª° to seeª° when¹ the holy thingsª are covered,ª° lest they die.ª°" {Num 4:20} + "The secretª° [things belong] unto the LORDª our God:ª but those [things which are] revealedª° [belong] unto us and to our childrenª for² ever,ª¹ that [we] may doª°¹ all¹ the wordsª of this¹ law.ª" {Deu 29:29} + "And the angerª of the LORDª was kindledª° against Uzzah;ª and Godª smoteª° him there¹ for¹ [his] error;ª and there¹ he diedª° by¹ the arkª of God.ª" {2Sm 6:7} + "And when they cameª° unto¹ the threshingfloorª of Chidon,ª Uzzaª put forthª°¹ his handª to holdª°¹ the ark;ª for¹ the oxenª stumbled.ª° ...

As it is very improbable that the village of Beth-shemesh should contain, or be capable of employing, 50,070 men in the fields at wheat harvest, much less that they could all peep into the ark, and from the uncommon manner in which it is expressed in the original, it is generally allowed that there is some corruption in the text, or that some explanatory word is omitted. The Hebrew is shivim ish, chamishim aileph ish, literally, "seventy men, fifty thousand men." So LXX εβδομηκοντα ανδρας και πεντηκοντα χιλιαδας ανδρων. Vulgate, septuaginta viros, et quinquaginta millia plebis. "70 (chief) men, and 50,000 common people." Targum, besabey amma, "of the elders of the people 70 men, ovekahala, and in the congregation 50,000 men." But the Syriac, chamsho alphin weshivin gavrin, "5,000 and 70 men;" with which the Arabic agrees; while Josephus has only εβδομηκοντα, seventy men; and three reputable manuscripts of Dr. Kennicott's also omit "50,000 men." Some learned men, however, would render, by supplying מ, mem, "70 men; fifty out of a thousand;" which supposes about 1,400 present, and that a twentieth part were slain.
