And it is declared to Solomon, saying, ‘Lo, Adonijah feareth king Solomon, and lo, he hath laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me as to-day — he doth not put to death his servant by the sword.’
And the report hath come unto Joab — for Joab hath turned aside after Adonijah, though after Absalom he did not turn aside — and Joab fleeth unto the tent of Jehovah, and layeth hold on the horns of the altar.
and Aaron hath made atonement on its horns, once in a year, by the blood of the sinoffering of atonements; once in a year doth he make atonement for it, to your generations; it [is] most holy to Jehovah.’
