Uzzah

Touched the ark,
Struck dead,
Poor Uzzah!

Until you think:

The ark was meant to be carried on a litter,
Respect due honorable dignitary or king,
Not set in the back of a cart
Like some object needing hauling.

Their enemies choose this method of transport.
Why imitate the enemies, rather than obey their God?

We don’t handle radioactive material
Without proper gear.

We understand being struck dead
For an imprudent touch,
Unjust though it may seem.

They got it right three months later.
