Gill's Notes on the Bible
Whilst their children remember their altars,.... Which is a further proof of their long continuance in idolatrous practices, and a fresh witness against them; they trained up their children in them; who, when grown up, could not forget them, but imitated them, and went on in the same evil ways. Some render the words, "as they remember their children, so they remember their altars i, and their groves, by the green trees upon the high hills"; they had the same love to their idols, and the worship of them, as they had to their children. This sense is received by Kimchi k; yea, they had a greater affection for their idols than for their children; since they made their children pass through the fire to Moloch, and burnt their sons and their daughters to Baal. The Targum renders it, "their groves under every green tree": see Jeremiah 2:20. Kimchi and Ben Melech connect green trees not with groves but with altars; and take the sense to be, that their altars were by green trees; since groves and green trees were the same, and which altars also were upon high hills.
i ×××ר ×× ××× ××××××ª× "sicut recordantur filiorum suorum, ita recordantur ararum suarum"; so some in Vatablus. k So in T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 63. 2. & Gloss in ib.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
While their children remember their altars - Perhaps an allusion to their sacrifices of children to Moloch. Present perhaps at some such blood-stained rite, its horrors would be engraven forever upon the memory.
Groves - âAsherahs,â i. e., wooden images of Astarte (see Exodus 34:13 note).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 17:2. Whilst their children remember — Even the rising generation have their imagination stocked with idol images, and their memories with the frantic rites and ceremonies which they saw their parents observe in this abominable worship.
