The men of Beth Shemesh are struck for looking into the LORD’s ark, and send messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim
여호와의 궤를 들여다 본 벧세메스 사람들이 치심을 받고 기럇여아림 거민에게 사자를 보냄
1 Samuel 6:19–21: the text says, “He struck of the men of Beth Shemesh, because they had looked into the LORD’s ark, he struck fifty thousand seventy of the men.” Then the people mourn, because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter. The men of Beth Shemesh say, “Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God? To whom shall he go up from us?” They send messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath Jearim, saying, “The Philistines have brought back the LORD’s ark. Come down and bring it up to yourselves.” The Korean Revised Version reads (오만)칠십인 at 6:19, with 오만 (fifty thousand) in parentheses.
