Matthew Poole and continuators on Numbers 15:30

30 But the soul that doth ought presumptuously , (whether he be born in the land, or a stranger) the same reproacheth the LORD ; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

Understand such things as ought not to be done, and things relating to the worship of God.

Heb. with an high or lifted up hand, i. e. knowingly, wilfully, boldly, resolvedly, deliberately, designedly. So this phrase is elsewhere used. See Exod. 14. 8. Lev. 26. 21. Numb. 33. 3. Iob 15. 26. Psal. 19. 13.

(i. e.) He sets God at defiance, and exposeth him to contempt, as if he were unworthy of any regard, and unable to punish transgressors.

Marginal references: Heb. [illegible: 1 word] high hand.
