I said unto them] Or, I told them what the high place was, or Bamah. I did often admonish them by my Prophets, and reproved them for their idolatry. What is the high place] Do you not know sufficiently, by the very name of high place, which at all times hath been in famous, as a place of idolatrie, and unlawfull worship, that all that is done there is abominable? as the very name of a brothel is sufficient to make any honest woman to flie the conversation and neighbourhood of it. Bamah] Which signifieth a high place: declaring that they vaunted themselves of their idolatrie, and were not ashamed thereof, though God had commanded them expresly that they should have no Altar lifted up on high by stairs, Exodus 20:26.
