14 If a man becomes very angry with his fellow man and he deliberately kills him,+ the man must die even if you have to take him from my altar.+

38 He made the altar of burnt offering out of acacia wood. It was square, five cubits* long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high.+ 2 Then he made its horns on its four corners. Its horns were one piece with it. Next he overlaid it with copper.+

28 When the news reached Joʹab—for Joʹab had supported Ad·o·niʹjah+ but he had not supported Abʹsa·lom+—Joʹab fled to the tent of Jehovah+ and grabbed hold of the horns of the altar.
