Commentary on Exodus 38:2
Horns on the four corners (קַרְנֹתָיו עַל־אַרְבַּע פִּנֹּתָיו, karnotav al-arba pinnotav) represent power and refuge—sacrificial blood applied to horns (Leviticus 4:7) demonstrates power over sin. Those fleeing judgment could grasp altar horns for mercy (1 Kings 1:50-51), illustrating that refuge from judgment exists only at the place of sacrifice. The horns being 'of the same' (מִמֶּנּוּ, mimmennu—'from it') teaches that true refuge isn't external addition but intrinsic to the sacrifice itself. Christ's power to save flows from His cross, not from supplementary means.
