Bible Riddle: July 2004

Bible students get ready
To name the man whose...
Single act, perhaps to steady,
Did his life cause him to lose.1

He saw the Ark of God...
'Pon its cart shook by oxen,
Feared it 'twas near to falling...
Put up his hand and he held on.

Then God's anger was kindled...
Against him for his error,
And God smote him there for it...
And by the Ark did he die there.

Your Old Testament you must read,
To learn who died for this deed.
