In Jewish tradition

In the Torah it means openly disobeying God's command. In the Psalms, "presumptuous sins" are proud, willful sins which the psalmist asks God to keep him from.

Interpretation. The rabbis teach that deliberate defiance is much more serious than accidental sin, and it was not covered by the usual sin-offering. The Psalm is read as a prayer to be kept from sins done on purpose.

Examples

So I spoke unto you, and ye hearkened not; but ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill-country. (Torah DEU.1.43, JPS 1917) tree →
Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins, that they may not have dominion over me; then shall I be faultless, and I shall be clear from great transgression. (Writings PSA.19.14, JPS 1917) tree →
