Ibn Ezra on Numbers 15:31

כי דבר ה' בזה. זה הוא ביד רמה: BECAUSE HE HATH DESPISED THE WORD OF THE LORD. This is what with a high hand refers to.

ואת מצותו הפר. שצוהו שלא לעשות ביד רמה ויש אומרים או אם יפר מצותו בסתר: AND HATH BROKEN HIS COMMANDMENT. For God commanded him not to act with a high hand. Others say that and hath broken His commandment refers to one who violates God’s commandment in secret.

הנפש ההיא. איננה המשכלת כדברי תועה רוח רק הוא חבור נפש עם הגוף: THAT SOUL. This does not refer to the rational soul.⁴⁸I.E. held that man has three souls: vegetative, animal, and rational. See Foreword, Vol. 1, p. XIII. as those who err say.⁴⁹According to I.E. man’s rational soul is immortal if developed by study. It refers rather to the connection of the soul to the body.⁵⁰Premature death.

עונה בה. כמו דמו בראשו: HIS INIQUITY SHALL BE UPON HIM. Compare, his blood shall be upon him (Ezek. 33:4).
