Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then I said unto them,.... By his prophets that he sent unto them:
what is the high place where, unto you go? what is the name of it? what is the use of it? to what end do you go there? is there not an altar built by my order and command to sacrifice upon is this high place better than that? does it answer a better end and purpose?
and the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day; or a high place. The Septuagint also leaves the word untranslated, and calls it Abama; and the Arabic version Abbana; so they called their altars after the Gentiles, by whom they are called βÏμοι; nor were they ashamed of it, but persisted in so calling them, from the first use of them to the present time. These are often called, Bamah and Bamot in the books of Kings. Jarchi says it is a term of reproach, as if it was said, Bamah----in what is it to be accounted of?
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The probation in the land of Canaan from their entry to the day of Ezekiel.
Ezekiel 20:27
Yet in this - It was an aggravation of their guilt that they defiled with idolatry the land given them for their glory.
Ezekiel 20:29
Bamah - The Hebrew word for âhigh place.â Another instance of the perversion of Godâs laws. When the Israelites first entered Canaan they were to set up the âtabernacleâ on a âhigh place,â and upon this and upon no other they were to worship Yahweh (1 Samuel 9:12 ff; 1 Kings 3:4). But the Israelites followed the custom of the country, and set up idol-worship on every high hill, and the word âhigh placeâ (âBannah,â plural âBamothâ) became a by-word (compare âBamoth-Baal,â Joshua 13:17). âBamothâ occurs on the Moabitic stone, which records the erection of high places in honor of Chemosh. The name âBamahâ was thus a brand of the divine displeasure, and a memorial of the peopleâs guilt.
Ezekiel 20:30, Ezekiel 20:31
The present state of the people. Those who came to inquire were the representatives of the whole people though belonging to the exiles.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 20:29. What is the high place — ×× ×××× mah habbamah, "what is the high place?" What is it good for? Its being a high place shows it to be a place of idolatry. I called it ××× bamah, to mark it with infamy; but ye continue to frequent it, even while it is called ××× bamah, to the present day!
