“But the soul that doeth 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.”
Because they have despised the LORD's word and broken his commands, that person must surely be cut off; their guilt remains on them' — the deliberate sinner's guilt is not expiated by offering because the sin is not merely transgression but contempt (nas'u—lifted up in rebellion) against God's word itself. The willful sinner refuses atonement by refusing submission.
