Law Concerning Presumptuous Sin

^30 (A)‘But the person who does anything ^[a]presumptuously, whether he is native-born or a stranger, that one ^[b]brings reproach on the Lord, and he shall be ^[c]cut off from among his people.

The Just Live by Faith

²⁶ For ^(A)if we sin willfully ^(B)after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there ^(C)no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

⁴³ So I spoke to you; yet you would not listen, but ^(A)rebelled against the command of the Lord, and ^(B)presumptuously^[a] went up into the mountain.

¹⁹ and so it may not happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall have peace, even though I ^[a]follow the ^(A)dictates of my heart’—^(B)as though the drunkard could be included with the sober.

^20 (C)“The Lord would not spare him; for then ^(D)the anger of the Lord and ^(E)His jealousy would burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book would settle on him, and the Lord ^(F)would blot out his name from under heaven.

^29 (A)Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, ^(B)counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, ^(C)and insulted the Spirit of grace?

¹² Now ^(A)the man who acts presumptuously and will not heed the priest who stands to minister there before the Lord your God, or the judge, that man shall die. So you shall put away the evil from Israel. ^13 (B)And all the people shall hear and fear, and no longer act presumptuously.

³² Anyone who ^(A)speaks a word against the Son of Man, ^(B)it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

⁴⁰ And they rose early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, ^(A)“Here we are, and we will go up to the place which the Lord has promised, for we have sinned!”

⁴¹ And Moses said, “Now why do you ^[a]transgress the command of the Lord? For this will not succeed. ^42 (B)Do not go up, lest you be defeated by your enemies, for the Lord is not among you. ⁴³ For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; ^(C)because you have turned away from the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.”

^44 (D)But they presumed to go up to the mountaintop. Nevertheless, neither the ark of the covenant of the Lord nor Moses departed from the camp.
