altar in Exodus 21
ALL-ter
This thing shows up in Exodus 21:14: “If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Exodus 21:14
“If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.”
