ExplanationCommentary
Verse 29. Called high. Hebrew “Bamah,” ( Bible.) out of contempt. Calmet.—The Jews were so much attached to the high places, that they called the altar of the Lord by the same name. Thus heretics are convicted by the very names they use, calling sacrifice service, and so forth Worthington.
“Bamah” means “High Place”.
