Jewish wisdom exploration: In Shemini, we mourn the lost opportunity to elevate ourselves above the need to have a Mishkan in the first place, due to the Golden Calf sin; we then learn about the death of the two Aaron's sons and in the haftorah we learn about another similar death during the transport of the arc by King David's servants. I seems to be there is a connecting line here that has to do with the self-centered nature of human condition and our difficulty to rely on the relations between each other rather than ourselves. Also the deaths appear more like knegdo - answer in kind whereby the resulting "death" is more akin to joining with the Almighty than a death in the human sense.
