Exodus 21:14 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

If a man come presumptuously Do this boldly, purposely, and maliciously; for so the word signifies, thou shalt take him from mine altar. God so abhors murder that he will rather venture the pollution of his own altar than the escape of the murderer.

Exodus 21:14
