Numbers 15:32 Context
30¶ But the soule that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be borne in the land, or a stranger, the same reprocheth the Lord: and that soule shall be cut off from among his people. 31Because he hath despised the word of the Lord, and hath broken his commandement, that soule shall vtterly be cut off: his iniquitie shall be vpon him. 32¶ And while the children of Israel were in the wildernes, they found a man that gathered stickes vpon the Sabbath day. 33And they that found him gathering sticks, brought him vnto Moses and Aaron, and vnto all the Congregation. 34And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.

Wesley's Notes for Numbers 15:32
15:32 On the sabbath - day - This seems to be added as an example of a presumptuous sin: for as the law of the sabbath was plain and positive, so this transgression of it must needs be a known and wilful sin.
