Exegesis
The sequence of vav-consecutive verbs establishes a tight narrative flow, beginning with vayikhar {וַיִּֽחַר | wayyīḥạr} ‘burn up’ which introduces the divine emotional reaction, followed by vayyakkēhu {וַיַּכֵּהוּ | wayyakkehû} ‘strike him’ underscoring immediate retribution.
In context — 1 Chronicles 13:10
Then the LORD’s anger flared against Uzzah, and He struck him down for laying his hand upon the ark , and Uzzah died there before God .
