Exegesis
The infinitive ləʾeḥōz ʾet-hāʾārōn {לֶאֱחֹז אֶת־הָאָרוֹן | ləʾeḥōz ʾet-hāʾārōn} ‘to seize the ark’ expresses intention, and kî šāməṭû hā-bā-qār {כִּי שָׁמְטוּ הַבָּקָר | kî šāməṭû hā-bā-qār} ‘because the oxen stumbled’ indicates causation. English SVO order preserves clarity while reflecting the Hebrew emphasis on Uzzah’s action.
In context — 1 Chronicles 13:9
When they reached the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to take hold of the ark , because the oxen stumbled.
