| − | <point><b>What was the Sin</b> – There are three options for what the sin of Uzza was:<br/>
| |
| − | <ul>
| |
| − | <li>Uzza showed a lack of faith in Hashem because the Aron has special miracles associated with it, including the fact the Leviem who carried it were actually carried by the Aron itself.<fn>Midrash<br/><br/></fn> By Uzza trying to stop the Aron from falling he showed a lack of faith in Hashem's miracles. </li>
| |
| − | <li>Uzza touched the Aron itself which is not allowed even for the Leviem who must carry it by the poles.<fn>Abarbenal<br/><br/></fn>  </li>
| |
| − | <li>Uzza relived himself by the side of the Aron, therefore not giving it the proper honer.<fn><a href="BavliSotah35a" data-aht="source">Bavli Sotah 35a</a></fn> </li>
