“And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.”
The anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God struck him down there beside the ark of God — The Lord's immediate judgment kills Uzzah. The text states God 'struck him down' — instant death for touching the ark. The severity reflects covenant theology: the ark is so holy that even well-intentioned contact brings death. The Lord's holiness cannot be violated, regardless of motive.
