Law Concerning Presumptuous Sin

30 a‘But the person who does anything1 presumptuously, whether he is native-born or a stranger, that one2 brings reproach on the Lord, and he shall be3 cut off from among his people.  
31 Because he has adespised the word of the Lord, and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his1 guilt shall be upon him.’ ”  

Penalty for Violating the Sabbath

32 Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, athey found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.  
33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
34 They put him aunder guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.  
35 Then the Lord said to Moses, a“The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall bstone him with stones outside the camp.”  
36 So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.

Tassels on Garments

38 “Speak to the children of Israel: Tell athem to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners.

Numbers 15:29-36

Let us go back to Numbers 15, a very interesting thing here. Numbers 15, and the context involves sinning presumptuously, just taking it on ourselves to do what we good and well feel like doing.

Now, the implication is from the context that that breaking of the Sabbath may have been, probably was, presumptuous. The major evidence being that he was put to death. It was not something that he just slipped up on. It was something that he must have premeditated about, and then deliberately, in the face of the command to rest, in which the whole nation was supposed to be resting, he went out and did what he did.
