“So I told you, but you would not listen—you rebelled against the command of Adonai and presumptuously went up into the hill country.
But they rebelled, and grieved His Ruach ha-Kodesh. So He turned to become their enemy. He Himself fought against them.
They rose the next morning and went up to the high mountains, saying, “Look! Let’s go up to the place which Adonai promised. For we have sinned.”
But presumptuously they went up to the high mountain country, though neither the Ark of Adonai’s covenant nor Moses moved from within the camp.
“But the person who sins defiantly, whether native or outsider, reviles Adonai and that person is to be cut off from his people.
“O you stiff-necked people! You uncircumcised of heart and ears! You always resist the Ruach ha-Kodesh; just as your fathers did, you do as well.
“Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the command of Adonai your God.
The man who acts presumptuously by not listening to the kohen who stands to serve there before Adonai your God, or to the judge, that man must die. So you are to purge the evil from Israel.
