Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(14) If a man come presumptuously.--Rather, if a man come maliciously, or with premeditation. (Vulg., de industria.)Thou shalt take him from mine altar.--Comp. 1Kings 2:28-34. In most parts of the ancient world a scruple was felt about putting criminals to death when once they had taken sanctuary, and those who did so were regarded as accursed (Herod. v. 71, 72; Thucyd. i. 126; Plut. Vit. Sol., ? 12). The Mosaic Law regarded this scruple as a superstition, and refused to sanction it.
